My boyfriend ended up In the psych ward He was kind of my boyfriend Though he lived with another guy They owned a house Together And they still had sex From time to time They hunted down each other When one of them fell off the grid Which my boyfriend Often did Like he did with me When I was twenty-two I brought him back to life He had been suffocating Trying to write a screenplay Adaptation Of a children's book That his agent had arranged With the guy he lived with His so-called writing partner Their first screenplay Had set off a bidding war Everyone wanting to meet them But that was three years before Now they missed deadlines As writing sessions digressed Into videotaping themselves Having robotic, headless sex That he later played for me On their big screen TV My boyfriend went mad When he smoked reefer So we settled on ecstasy instead Writhing on each other's bodies Eyes rolling To the backs of our heads Orgiastic rave music playing in the background In the one-bedroom apartment he had rented Away from his-whatever he was Writing partner Caretaker Jailer Away from the deadlines And dead ends His mother's new husband And her old one His father And his shotgun And on and on He clung to me On our doses of ecstasy Whispering my name Over and over In my ear And I told him Let's just cut up pieces of coloured paper And glue them into Something new Cuz that's all we gotta do Decoupage And décollage Not all this bullshit Mortgages and Hollywood and success Oh let's just make a mess Yeah, let's just make a mess But, like I said My boyfriend ended up in the psych ward Where the visiting hours were very few So I wasn't sure what I should do We'd been doing so much together And having lots of sex All the time and wherever So I met other people And I tried to say high all the time And I drew lots of pictures Of bleeding infants And pieces of shit under people's noses And houses being swallowed up by waves And dots, lots of coloured dots So many dots Pages and pages of dots Swirling, whirling, random dots everywhere I thought maybe being in the psych ward For a couple weeks Would open my boyfriend's eyes He'd turn a corner Disconnect Sell the house Do or be Someone else Not feel so envious Of my adventurousness My willingness To commit one hundred percent Maybe he wouldn't be tempted To try to strangle me again Trying to prove That it wasn't so easy That sometimes we can't respond We can only react And I did So he finally let go Of my throat I told him When I visited That he could call me When he was going to be released I'd come and get him But he said he wasn't sure He wasn't sure of anything He'd have to let me know He never did Or he only did after he'd done what he did And went back to the other guy Went back to trying to finish the uninspiring screenplay To trying to keep up with the mortgage payment schedule Went back to waiting to see If their first script, which had been optioned, Would ever go into production I found god or something The AA meetings he'd had A drawer full of 30-day chips from I got 60, and then 90, 6 months, a year We kept in touch from time to time On the telephone He didn't finish the script Defaulted on the loan Got deeply interested in Jungian archetypes The anima and animus The search for his Double With his therapist With whom he'd become very close And then Then His phone number went dead
