a reminder that you are alive

you don't have to make art to be a human being

it is unnatural to talk
kureishi
one of those days i wanted to see her
that day i found myself able to tell her
i thought we could look at disturbing pictures and not feel compelled to speak
i am not sure if it would be a good thing
i am not sure if her mind would run wild
i am quite sure staying away would be the best for everybody
but i miss her friendship too

i am a human being
my fears are humane
hanif

i am not completely unmoved to reply
why can't i be nice and say something
i can't
i don't want to begin thinking about it again
i do not want to start a conversation
please continue your monologue
i am listening

in response to kureishi, hanif.
we have made it complicated but.
