Yes, darling?

I'll pass you the butter if you promise to exercise.

(I really am quite sorry it turned out this way)

A dream in 1Q09

That night I dreamt of happyness and woke up laughing in my sleep. So sunny.

Things don't need to be complicated to be wonderful, she said. So true.

Lust for Life

It is only appropriate that I use these borrowed words to thank you for not having one boring bone in your body.

...and I shambled after as I've been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!"'

Liberté, Equalité, Fraternité


---
Like the cloudless sky

Abstract music

Late Sunday evening


---
Like clean snow

Freshly ironed shirt

Grandmama's hair

---
Like the fusion of turmeric and soap

Cool blade on soft skin

Staring at bright light through closed eyelids

Sometimes

Graceful people have smelly socks too, sometimes. Sometimes a stranger's smile feels like a warm hug. Sometimes it really is better to say nothing at all. Sometimes butterflies can seem to last forever.

Oaf

Breaks glass bottles
Frets about it

Walks in sticky rain with
A crooked crow of an umbrella

Walks out of a party
Experiences staircase wit

Solves puzzles
For validation

Pliant and pliable mean the same thing. Reliant and reliable do not.
