Without any premeditation on her part
She’s worked out a way to be desirable
To every man simultaneously and
If women do not hate her outright
Then they keep a shrine of her inside
Their handbags and apply her with
Makeup hoping to embody her
Through imitation but what they
Don’t understand is that her beauty
Stems beyond physicality, she
Isn’t the woman men lust she is
The woman they fall in love with
=
She’s a commodity in very short
Supply these days, it’s not that
She’s negligent it’s a matter of demand
And there’s not enough of her to go around
She’s worked out a way to be indispensable
Despite her perpetual motion, despite
That no one can affix her to any single
Point in recordable history, she transcends
Those boundaries, I have known her forever
In the expanse of three years I can’t imagine
Her not existing even if it’s only in the residual
=
When present she has a way
Of consuming one’s attention
Chaining all the men in the room
To her ankles, in her presence
I have the benefit of perfect anonymity
I could walk naked across the floor
Cloaked entirely in her shadow
I am completely invincible
=
She pursued me, pursues me still
I have always been a person remembered
Even when words are not exchanged
As I understand it I have a touch of unreality
My friend says looking at me is like
Looking into a very old photograph
I am of the ether, apparently I have the ability
To possess people by passing through them
=
I don’t know how we are friends as I go
Through extraordinary pains not to be seen
She caught me inside the periphery and
Extracts me very carefully bit by bit
Into the light, conjuring words between
My pursed lips, surrounding my exits
=
She knows all my tricks so she invites
Herself and never gives me the time
To form any plausible excuse, it’s
Not that I wish to escape her its
The world I have objections with
But she won’t let me leave, she keeps
Me grounded and despite myself
I must admit that I enjoy her being there
Like a holiday or a love affair she
Comes to me in waves of celebration
=
This is about my best friend gorgeous girl and if not for her unflagging persistence I would’ve disappeared I think completely. I am very anti-social it takes a force of nature to draw me out and she is a force of nature.
