Km2: If you insist that you feel romantic affection for me, why have you forsaken me without companionship? If you insist that my presence is necessary, why do you not contact me on the ubiquitous telecommunictional device?

“Tell me you love me, why did you leave me all alone?You tell me you need me when you call me on the phone…” Cry Me A River Justin Timberlake

“Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel” Going to the Roadhouse, The Doors

These are pretty simple.

**LMN1** : They expressed a desire that the man should refrain from appearing in their presence, that he should not ever display his visage, that he should become invisible. A common exothermic reaction was apparent in their orbs and they spoke with precision. Therefore, depart. Simply depart.

**LMN2** : Each occasion in which you procure me for a price, I find myself more devalued than I care to experience. I will rend the brightly-colored divisions of your corolla; scarlet one, I will coerce you to articulate with verisimilitude.

**LMN3** At the time in which I am of more advanced age, and my scalp is increasingly visible, aeons into the future…should I expect to receive a romantic holiday greeting card? a social visit celebrating the anniversary of the day I was born? a flask of fermented grape juice?

L-g-B1) It is not as though we will be permanently separated; it is not as though we will never be acquainted with affection.

L-g-B2)I would like to purchase affection, but apparently there are no vendors. At least, that is what all others inform me of.
