Stupid Poem I Wrote about Someone I Convince Myself to Dislike

This song is really good You tell me enthusiastically after nearly knocking me over, 30 seconds into sub-par synths and francophilic lyrics

You ruthlessly exclaim that the New York Times says it is, you’ve heard it for the first time tonight

Earlier that evening my new housemate told me that I should fuck you

I’ve known you for too long, there are too many moving pieces

Not to

When I was fifteen you and the boy who taught me how to love two years later

Laughed at me in Model UN

I quit

You played the same Revolver songs over and over again when I took a leap toward a newfound solitude

Took me to tea, told me about your zionist grandma, told me about how smart the girls you live with are

How much you wanted to fuck one of them but she has no idea, she’s too busy studying at Wesleyan

Or at Barnard, girls are nonchalant, their apathy compliments their midriffs perfectly

But really they all do, you’re too agile, too fit

Called my friend fat, called my taste in music juvenile

Made the thing I like most embarrassing

Live next to me, tell me

You forget, you talk to so many people

Friends, strangers, people at bars

Which you go to because you’re involved, immersed, longing for someone

With the perfect idiosyncracies , but the least to say
