they tell you to be yourself.
then they judge you.
15.6.12
We walked in on her putting on sparkly, strappy stilettos
and one of those leather miniskirts, two fake eyelashes,
a mouthful of overflowing claret lipstick, and a necklace
made of an old noose. We asked her, 'what are you doing,
you silly girl?' She said:
'I'm off to meet Death while I'm still pretty.'
We found him scratching out old mottos of 'carpe diem'
and 'que sera sera' to replace them with 'death is a
promise.' We caught him laughing at old movies with gun
fights and when Jack drowned in 'Titanic'. Eventually,
we asked 'so, why do you want to die so much?' He said:
'It'd be fun.'
We found gravestones and left flowers on the yellow grass
strips: we apologized to statues of angels for the moss
growing over them, we apologized to dreams that had no
chance to become real due to wrecked metal or gunpowder
blasts.
'I'm sorry they underestimate you.'
