That strange flower, the sun,
Is just what you say.
Have it your way.
The world is ugly,
And the people are sad.
That tuft of jungle feathers,
That animal eye,
Is just what you say.
That savage of fire,
That seed,
Have it your way.
The world is ugly,
And the people are sad.

i’ll never forget when i met you seven years ago and you gave me all these poems on 100 white paper sheets. i asked which ones were tom’s and which ones were yours, then adrian whispered in my ear “may, there’s a secret i want to tell you, tom and curtis are the same person”.
