lovinā my new watch š #armcandy #watch #uo
Iām never gonna wait
that extra twenty minutes
to text you back,
and Iām never gonna play
hard to get
when I know your life
has been hard enough already.
When we all know everyoneās life
has been hard enough already
itās hard to watch
the game we make of love,
like everyoneās playing checkers
with their scars,
saying checkmate
whenever they get out
without a broken heart.
Just to be clear
I donāt want to get out
without a broken heart.
I intend to leave this life
so shattered
thereās gonna have to be
a thousand separate heavens
for all of my flying parts.

Go after her. Fuck, donāt sit there and wait for her to call, go after her because thatās what you should do if you love someone, donāt wait for them to give you a sign cause it might never come, donāt let people happen to you, donāt let me happen to you, or her, sheās not a fucking television show or tornado. There are people I might have loved had they gotten on the airplane or run down the street after me or called me up drunk at four in the morning because they need to tell me right now and because they cannot regret this and I always thought Iād be the only one doing crazy things for people who would never give enough of a fuck to do it back or to act like idiots or be entirely vulnerable and honest and making someone fall in love with you is easy and flying 3000 miles on four days notice because you canāt just sit there and do nothing and breathe into telephones is not everyoneās idea of love but it is the way I can recognize it because that is what I do. Go scream it and be with her in meaningful ways because that is beautiful and that is generous and that is what loving someone is, that is raw and that is unguarded, and that is all that is worth anything, really.

I march in the parade of liberty, but as long as I love you Iām not free, 2007
poster for performance
For eight days between December 1, 2007 and January 12, 2008, Hayes walked from The New Museum at Bowery and Prince Sts in lower Manhattan to a different site of public address, stopping at street corners every few blocks and speaking a single, repeated love address to an anonymous and unnamed lover. Drawing from sources such as De Profundis, Oscar Wildeās letter to Lord Alfred Douglas, and slogans from early gay Liberation parades in New York City, the ālove addressā uses soācalled private speech to get to the emotional imbrication of promise and disappointment in collective political action.
Part of a series of works dealing with the relationship between personal and political desire and between love and politics, I March In The Parade Of Liberty, But As Long As I Love You Iām Not Free, raises questions about war, the emotional landscape of protest actions and public speech.
