Same Difference… All Teeth, Snarl, Swagger and Attitude
by Paul Tristram / July 28th, 2024
“I only became ‘Interested’ when I witnessed
you take a serrated kitchen knife
to ‘Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs’
… during the ‘Anti-Love-In’ Party…
your eyes change colour when Violent
just like mine do, and I thought it was cute
that I managed to distract you, mid Kick
-Off, with an uncontrollable little chuckle.”
Sex during the ‘Idealization Stage’,
on cocaine, is the closest thing
to ‘Love’ most people experience
‘These Days’… and, they’re the lucky ones.
“My ‘Blocked List’ is full to the brim
with discarded Narcissists, hahaha,
and, I have an absolutely livid Sociopath
‘Stuck On Read’… I know, sexy, right?
now, come a little closer and show me Yours.”
