"I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound or stab us. If the book we’re reading doesn’t wake us up with a blow to the head, what are we reading for?" -Franz Kafka

Attracted to
seems to be a biological term
but attraction kills
murders
slaughters us all
We see the physicality and it tears us apart
and we imagine what’s underneath sometimes
We invent things based on what
we observe on the outside
So maybe we make it all up
love
caring
affection
maybe it’s all in our heads
or maybe we just know
