the_far_edge_of_the_circle
unhinged the four points where
square_the_circle
meet


we wrote great songs together
we played pretty effortlessly together
but
he was more social
than i was

inevitably
we would drift out into the night
after a couple hours of
writing
playing
recording

his friends
(scenester_bitches on blue)
didn't like me
sentiment returned

one night
we met them at the tiki bar
and they literally closed ranks
left me on the outside
of their circle

i did not elbow my way in
content to be the outsider
of that group of clowns

he made eye_contact
opened the circle to include me
which made the circle
more of an amoeba


that night
Matt got smacked in the face
with my then signature
vanilla and sandalwood
by the cold winter air
'you smell so good
i want to eat you'
whispered in my ear

when they started doing coke
thanks to dre
(kindred)
i didn't fight to see him anymore
we stopped working together

the edge so far
i couldn't bring us back together
