Confessions of a Tischaholic -4- Prenez Soins de Vous

Different people break off romantic relationships in different ways. Different people react to their partner's attempts to terminate such intimacies in different ways.

G. decided to break up in an email. Sophie Calle decided to go on being Sophie Calle.


I didn't decide to respond. But when asked to, I decided to respond in the following way.


PRENEZ SOIN DE VOUS

Pensively perched atop the promise of possible death
Rage ringing anew in rows of raw silence
Entranced encore avec the ephemerality of endemic love
Nascent nostalgia ablaze with nightmares of narcotic repose
Eloquence eclipsed above the embraces of elliptic words
Zombified zest along the Zeitgeist of zero-hour

Sophie, ça suffit
Ominous obsolescence overwhelming my future
Illicit idleness impoverishing my fate
Neglected narcissism nauseating my focus

Disheveled decadence displeasing my façade
Exigent entanglement exonerating my flee

Vicious “vous” is votre valeure
Offside oases your optimum horreur
Unraveled unity – upsy-daisy!
Sois souriante, Sophie; ça suffit.
