i would not have thought of it

I would not have thought of it myself to make love to drive away the crazy, to be wary of virtuous principals, to think of you more than New York, I would not have thought of it alone, I would not have thought of it myself, to cross California on a horse, To forget about the psychopaths, to kiss you rather than become a writer, I would not have thought of it alone, I would not have thought of it myself, to read Descartes and Montaigne to dream, to be wary of strangers who walk, to trust Alice more than the poets, I would not have thought of it alone, I would not have thought of it myself, to understand the silences that I listen, to make French cuisine to be lucid, to make love to drive away the crazy, I would not have thought of it alone,
