The expectation is a requisite for disappointment
If I ever snatch you from the world of forms Shall I not see you in bone, muscle, sinew? You won't laugh at all my jokes; you will not be captivated by my insights Hell I doubt you'll listen to my favourite musicians and you won't have read Murakami, Cohen, Neruda You won't last more than 5 minutes outside of my mind You'll sing the wrong note, whistle the wrong tune and I will exile you - Napoleon at the Elba - my heart is vindictive and lonely, an animal too good to feast on the flesh of anything impure; the toxic allure of shackling someone to the ambitions of the most austere reality The expectation... is a requisite for disappointment
