& you were so lovely I didn't notice what was happening I didn't think this would happen to me But I wasn't happening I wasn't anything When the people you love aren't right under yr nose & you're miles away and you feel a bit thrown Surrounded by people who don't give a shit So you watch their blank faces and cling to the bits I've been attracted to yr inhumanity But every conversation ends so unattractively & we are not the beautiful couple we thought we'd be Thoughts come in & thoughts go out Maybe I'll never know what I'm talking about In search of a certain elegance, will this all repeat again? (-Yes? -I didn't know. I just learned. -Too bad...now you'll hate him, and you'll hate me too. -I don't know. -Of course you will.) I stand right up & I say "I see through you!" But life just keeps going on D̶a̶n̶t̶e̶ ̶n̶e̶v̶e̶r̶ ̶m̶e̶t̶ ̶a̶ ̶B̶e̶.̶ ̶ ̶ ̶T̶i̶m̶e̶ ̶i̶s̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶m̶u̶c̶h̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶a̶ ̶v̶i̶n̶d̶i̶c̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶.̶ ̶ I̶'̶m̶ ̶j̶u̶s̶t̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶l̶i̶k̶e̶ ̶ y̶o̶u̶ ̶a̶l̶l̶.̶ ̶ J̶u̶s̶t̶ ̶s̶a̶y̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶m̶i̶s̶s̶ ̶m̶e̶,̶ ̶j̶u̶s̶t̶ ̶s̶a̶y̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶m̶i̶s̶s̶ ̶m̶e̶.̶ ̶ ̶I̶ ̶d̶o̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶f̶i̶t̶ ̶i̶n̶,̶ ̶a̶t̶ ̶a̶l̶l̶,̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶a̶t̶ ̶a̶l̶l̶.̶ Turning each other off, still I kept holding on. Why? Why? Why? Why? Is it because I've been attracted to your inhumanity But every conversation ends so unattractively & we are not the beautiful couple I thought we'd be But what do I know about humanity? Thoughts arrive so quick I wouldn't say they belong to me Sometimes I'm human, & sometimes I'm just saying words & I just go through the motions Are these just lesser emotions? But still, you tell me I'm so sensitive & I guess I just do things just to do things & I do things, but do I just do things to feel like I'm here? & I guess I just do things just to do things & I do things, but do I just do things to feel like I'm here? I just do things just to do things & I do things, but do I just do things to feel like I'm here? I just do things just to do things & I do things, but do I just do things to feel like I'm here? (-That dream you had. -You were 50 years old, and you were happy. -And in this dream, was there anyone else? -There was. -Who? -You woke up, and smiled at someone next to you. I don't know who. -What else do you know?) & we could shout into the void all day But as long as I live so many miles away Presence will be privileged And that's all I can say --- (Dialogue from Bleu, & Rouge, by Krzysztof Kieślowski)

O, I was born disco But then the weights came Like so much rain From endless expanses To numbered avenues Never having a clue Always 2 steps up and 2 steps down I had never called it indie It was only a melody And a dancing beat But O what it meant to me, messages sent to me In codes I would never have tried to pretend I know Immortality bestowed by posterity I will sing my heart out til it's on my sleeve I was born disco, but... Like a MacArthur? Or a Patton on the playground Say you were just fooling around So you could be kind to me Or you could be blind to me But spare me the humanity I never called it indie It was only a melody And a dancing beat But O what it meant to me, messages sent to me In codes I would never have tried to pretend I know Immortality bestowed by posterity But give me a waltz or a mixtape of schmaltz Like a father figure who'll be home for dinner I will sing my heart out til it's on my sleeve All of my senses before my intelligence Four on the floor til my heart beats no more I was born disco, but now I....I don't know

Else 05:27
I wish I could be somebody else Somebody you'd like With the answers you'd like Then I wouldn't have to stay up at night I wish I could be somebody else What if I'm more obsessed with you than anyone I meet? Most days I think I'll never land on my feet I can't even see my feet I'm just obsessed with me, aren't I I wish I could be somebody else Somebody you'd like With the answers you'd like The kind to keep us up at night I wish I could be somebody else I don't have epiphanies, just things I never thought about Because there so obvious IIII'm embarassed how long it took to figure out My problems are still there, I just don't write them down I don't write so well sometimes, well, you know I put on jeans to write this Maybe sweatpants would have been more symbolic Else, Old English (elles--related to elles in French?); Proto-Germanic (aljaz), Gothic Aljis; Roman, Alius; Greek, Allos. Can we go back any farther? How far back in history do we have to go before I find me? In the march of history what will become of me? Maybe I should be an attorney at law? Would I want to be an attorney at all Could I have been put on this earth to own my very own house? Put me in the pleasure box and I'll figure it out! I'm trying to be somebody else Somebody else—else—else—else I guess we'll see?
