I heard everything you have to say about her
she sounds beautiful I'm
sure she is beautiful Lauren
with the dreadlocked hair which she doesn't care
about and bangs she cuts herself
and the ragged t-shirts
and I heard she doesn't work
and lives with friends
on Bryant Avenue in a little room
really a closet and she doesn't want to meet me
or anyone
because she
's writing
or painting or something
Lauren doesn't like society
or anyone and
that's why I want to meet her I don't
like anyone either well actually I do but I can
change absolutely I can change
I can change for Lauren
