Patti Smith is the Only Musician My Painting Teacher Knew
Patti Smith is the only musician my painting teacher knew
Or at least, I’m pretty sure
Based on the evidence
All day everyday
Patti Smith
Gloria in excelsis deo
Over and over again
Become the night
Over and over again
Babelogue
Sometimes. I think.
I was usually too distracted
By how desperately I wanted to fuck her
Oh god,
Hahahhahahh
Oh wow.
I’m a bit of a hypocrite with this, I think.
I made a whole post about how
People should think
With something other than
Their clits
But oftentimes
My clit knows the best of it
It’s like
So fucking smart
All y’all would listen to her too
If you had her
Oh
and now that she knows
I’ve got a man’s soul
My clit doesn’t give a shit
What anybody thinks
So anyway–Patti Smith
I’ve been listening a lot
Groovin’ to this shit
Thinking about
Fucking my painting teacher
The one who’s name I forgot
Immediately
After I didn’t go to her show
What!!
She invited all of us, pulled me aside
And locked me in the eye
Asked me to go
To her show
Downtown.
I fucking blacked out, ok?
She smelled like something
Fermented, and my thoughts were
Absolutely demented.
God, I wanted to fuck her so bad
Listening to Patti Smith
Feeling the weight of the world
The colors,
The empathy,
All of the bullshit
Channeling all of it into
Fucking !!!!!!!!
How weird she smelled
Bitch ain’t got no hygiene
Why was that
Such a turn on?
I could never go
I would soak-through my jeans
I’d die on the scene
I literally imagined
Arriving
Waiting awkwardly, pacing,
Mingling with strange affluent beings
Waiting and pacing
Pacing some more, bracing
My heart exploding, me dead
Lying on the floor
Unable to fuck her
Cuz I’d be dead.
It’s best to stay home,
Where it’s safe to imagine
just me and her
Rolling around in paint
Writing new Patti Smith albums
I came up with a project even
In my daydreams
She would help me match dry pigments
To sounds I generated
With live instruments
Like little pulsing sound-clits
On the scene
It would’ve been
Obscenely transparent
I just wanted her to
Teach me how to paint
With different kinds of materials
