oscar and olivia

but i didn’t
though it matters not at all to me
if you leaf through

and i dig too
blowing hill-grass off my shoulders
with two red marks on my
lower lip
as if i was kissed by a vampire
this morning
and i bled

you see it’s impossible
to lie for very long
and never long enough
especially for those of you who live
too much
to live long

and you may as well be wild
if you are also simply doomed
but i would rather be like you
than be like this

does this have something to do with the importance of being earnest?

p.s. my favorite techie was this guy noah and i saw at the concert. noah wrote an ode to his favorite techie.
