The Anteroom - How To Dress Well

I saw the face of God

A mouth and a pool of blood

And I am a boring man

Asleep in a bathtub

Her body can make you think that colors are brightened days

Like Maggie Nelson said, the color of of the sun

Here up in the for a death I will never know

And in the movie of your life

You only speak in one scene?

And when the door opens, you say

«I've been thinking about it my whole life long»

And when they ask you what you mean

Your lips are moving but the mic’s not on

What have you been trying to say?

Is this a joke or some kind of mistake?

the day

Until you’re hardly ready because you’re
