Dialogue And Thought

by Spencer Roman



**********************



big blue tears out of big blue eyes
come reeling down your sides
stealing your best pickup lines
cause all the ladies love a man who cries.

– my name's brian.
– hi brian.
– do you come here often?
– nope.
– i think this is where you introduce yourself.
– darren.
– nice to meet you, darren.
– yeah. i like your ... dress.

i am not here to move the stars
but i will light your cigar
and i will take you out to my car
away from this bar.

– so what do you do?
– what, for a living?
– no, what do you do when you meet people like me?
– i don't understand.
– i know.

and then
i will bend you into shape
i will pin you on the fire escape
catch it on videotape
and they will call it rape.


– so what're you doing here, then?
– drowning my sorrows.
– oh. i heard sorrows are more easily expelled through sex.
– excuse me?

when i have you in my bed
you will sleep like you are dead
every girl with you in her head
will see you kissed blood red.


– look, brian, i've gotta get going.
– oh. alright.
– nice to meet you.
– mm.

dry your eyes and come on through
drive and scream and dream and screw
when you think you're out of view
still, i am following you.
