A Cena Estética

You’re not making me nervous
Am I making you uncomfortable
No, not uncomfortable
.
You’re not making me uncomfortable
…
You’re always trying to make me feel comfortable…

So I talk about movies and I talk about songs and pretend I don’t feel my tongue burn every night I talk about movies and I talk about songs and hope you won’t notice
I’m not like that

Me, the ever restless twins
Fast as wings in Hermes’ heels
You, Apollo’s racing car
Know what is a cinnabar.

From chemistry to alchemy
Astrology, astronomy
An orbit of the highest
Eccentricity

Coulomb interaction
Semi-neurotic reaction
To bad grammar and bed spelling
That we both find so repelling.

You know the capital of Nepal
Civilizations and their fall
I know parts of Montreal
(We look at maps, after all)

We play around ivory keys
Mind full of colourful synesthesies
With never-ending expertise.

Let me go
