I live with you 
outside the empirical 
deep into the subjective, 
mystical, and unsubstantiated 

we are ruled by preferences, 
tastes, and desires
time’s not our enemy 
it’s just fucking inconvenient 

what we do with ourselves 
is nobody’s business
we are just art in process
to be consumed 

as a pleasurable delicacy
sometimes had 
at a deeply 
discounted price
