you smell like washing powder.

.
.
..
this is when i finally fall over that pile of old books you have on the floor there.
.
you know
the ones that smell like coffee?
.
if you'll let me
i'd like to never come back.
.
to fall
and just keep falling.
.
i'd like you to drive us somewhere
without a name.
.
we can sit on the bonnet of your car and smoke cigarettes
and take artsy photos of faceless strangers.
.
the strangers that wear ripped tights and knee high boots
and the ones that can't see us
- can't walk in a straight line.
.
and it can be one of those stories
that are written in one of those old books.
.
you can write the last line in black ink
across my wrist.
.
