I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT YOU

i want to know about you

all the noughts you have divided
all the darkness that is light
all the horses that ride you
all the crimes not witnessed
all the wrapping paper that is present
all the future in your past
all the oil paintings that do not last
all the glass that does not smash
all the oxymorons that do not contradict
all the arrogance that is modest
all the rings that are phoning
all the contradictions that make sense
all the photos snapping cameras
all the digital replaced by analogue
all the CDs that preceed cassettes
all the the backwards going forwards
all the pretentiousness that is honest
all the poetry that writes itself
all the dada not recuperated
all the awesome that is lame
all the endings that begin

i want to know about you
