I\u2019ve started narcissistically seeing<\/p>\n
myself<\/p>\n
in everything you do<\/p>\n
maybe just my<\/p>\n
imagination<\/p>\n
maybe<\/p>\n
true<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It\u2019s become almost impossible<\/p>\n
for us to write things that aren\u2019t somehow<\/p>\n
about each other, or for each other, or just about me because<\/p>\n
I\u2019m always wondering<\/p>\n
what you might read<\/p>\n
when you read that particular turn of phrase<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I used to<\/p>\n
look in the mirror and see me<\/p>\n
so familiar I am reduced to<\/p>\n
the nouns of hair and eyes and nose and mouth<\/p>\n
Now I look and see<\/p>\n
what you might write about my face<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I am raw material<\/p>\n
the face, the lips, the words,<\/p>\n
I think about them before I say them<\/p>\n
about how you might edit them<\/p>\n
and put them back in my mouth<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So I guess you could say<\/p>\n
that it\u2019s some sort of muse thing<\/p>\n
or maybe it\u2019s some sort of sneaky thing<\/p>\n
where I am stealthily slipping words from your pocket<\/p>\n
before you get a chance to<\/p>\n
write them<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
or maybe you could say<\/p>\n
that<\/p>\n
it\u2019s co-authorship<\/p>\n
and we both write this,<\/p>\n
our
\nlife, our<\/p>\n
collaborative work<\/p>\n
