I was in the WISE

I was in the WISE the other day and this unbelievably hot, hip instagram couple walked in from a whole other movie. She's all white summer dress and blonde hair and thick brows looking like a young Sally Kellerman meets Elizabeth Olsen. Her tattooed, rangy, bearded, muscled-but-not-jacked boyfriend breezes in behind her. They've spent a day at the beach, I guess. Rapturous about the day they've spent together. They're SO into each other. They look so happy and friendly. I'm not into men but even I wanted to snuggle into his beard. She was a commercial for a better life. Then they make make out in the middle of every second sentence, sipping their drinks, off in their own world.
I tell you. I was drinking some bitter, bitter jealousy/envy straight from the bottle. I had to leave. I mean, good for them and everything but jesus christ. It shocked me how dark I felt looking at those two. It was like I was spying from another country.

the dark

Hello?
Are you there?
I’m the dark.
Can you see me?
Here. Let me light a match.
There.
You see the parts that are dark?
Around the edges?
That’s me!
It’s nice to meet you.
Don’t be scared.
People are so scared of me.
All I want to do is keep people safe.
When they sleep.
I love night time when I can cover so many houses.
And forests.
And oceans.
And lakes.
Helping animals and people sleep.
And helping some nocturnal animals wake up!
In the dark it’s easier to hide
And easier to imagine good things
I look forward to seeing you tonight
I’ll give you a gentle hug
When the light gets turned out
I don’t mind a tiny light if that’s what you want
It doesn’t hurt me
I’ll see you soon
Good night

It says absurd things

Today it’s under the toast.
Yesterday it was hiding behind my left eye.
Tomorrow it might be in the prime minister’s favorite chair.
All I know is that it calls to me.
And it says absurd things.
