because she loves too many people
an old friend, Derrick once asked me,
"are you always this nice to people?"
after we verified that we don't
share the same feelings
for each other.
i said yes, why not?
he said don't.
because people misunderstood.
i don't understand why.
why can't i be nice to people.
art school.
a classmate mistaken my niceness
for love-interest.
he said i was too nice to him,
gave him the wrong idea.
dear J,
i'm afraid you are right.
i am link into a picture
of a lovers' discourse.
because i am nice.
and i love too many people.
so,
someone hates me.
now i need Roland Barthes
to explain to her,
"it is all a question of using signs;
and of signs which have no actual content".
