Fata Morgana

I'm turning off ambition like a stove It's useful but a hazard when left alone I never speak about love It's a word I can't define I don't understand it It's easier than I'd hoped To live a life without it It's easier than I'd hoped To live a life without it Let's try an imagination game I'm me and you are you And we don't see each other Although we're in The same goddamned room And our bodies are featureless A pair of plastic tubes Tell me now do you love me And would you let me love you But love is a story part Love is an afterthought Otherwise love is a takeover An activity plan you bought Let love be its own thing Like the mystics say Let it have its own body Let it walk away
