Love & desire
Shouting into the void
New private contracts
In old hiding places
I look down at your hands
So smooth and familiar
Love and Desire...
Get down on the floor
Arousing suspicions, we
People around here
Plasticine beauty queens
We can be passengers
Move to the music
For I am you
& You are me
(hug me til you drug me, honey)
(kiss me til I’m in a coma)
(hug me, honey, snuggly bunny)
(Love’s as good as Soma)
(-A. Huxley)
