What is Your Basic Malfunction?

By The Lipstick Factor

you don't seem stupid

so

why would you
sing Christian gospel songs
to a spiritual girl
who has iterated (repeatedly)
her scathing contempt for organized religion?

and why do you
continue to speak in spirals
to a sharp tongued girl
who has said (repeatedly)
how much she loathes indirect, politically correct, around-speak?

and why do you
wax poetic about romance and candle light and making love
to a hedonistic girl
who has stated (repeatedly)
that she likes to FUCK (with the lights on)?

but most of all

why don't you see the irony
in telling me (repeatedly)
that i just haven't met the right guy yet
when you think you're him?

so

you profess to "love" me
you are convinced you're the "guy" for me
you're just waiting for me to be "ready"

but

you look right through me
words go in one ear and out the other
and you can't read the writing on the wall

the only logical conclusion

is

not only is love blind
it's deaf as a doorknob
and dumb as a fuckin' stump
