Victoria Linhares: Hydro Bill
your heart was too small so i had to cut out a piece of your mind as replacement your electricity was shut off on account of your unpaid hydro bill that's okay though it is nice to pet your hair in darkness we are not especially nice people but we will sleep beside each other anyway and feign love until morning that's okay though we will make pleasant conversation where the hum of your refrigerator used to be my greatest accomplishment is sitting in a darkened room with someone who does not love me that's okay though the city is coming with bulldozers to demolish the building they do that to places where sad things happen and i will go home tonight to my empty apartment and i will purposefully not pay my hydro bill and i will recreate the darkness that we had together like a sad fourteenth century love story except nobody is on a balcony calling my name except maybe City Hydro wondering why the fuck I'm not paying my bills on time and when we are both ready to live again and maybe have jobs that provide us with adequate light you will be alone in your well-lit apartment and i will be alone in mine
