Love & Unemployment<\/span>

I want to be so<\/span>
intertwined <\/span>
with you<\/span>
that our limbs wrap about one another<\/span>
\u23afand spread\u23afdefiantly,<\/span>
like kudzu.<\/span>

Consuming and <\/span>
smothering <\/span>
all those perfectly practical <\/span>
reasons<\/span>
that keep you\u23af separate\u23af<\/span>
from me.<\/span>

the atlantic ocean, your boyfriend, my unemployment\u23afyours, our drinking, the way my teeth scrape the spoon, suicide..<\/span>

Ah, fuck it.<\/span>

Just\u23af<\/span>all of them. <\/span>
