“I hate her so much I feel physically sick. It’s either that or the Cheeselets”
—Word…Smith
“There are a lot of things I like of you.
I won’t list them now.
From certain angles, you almost appeal.
But you are fragile and I’m careless
why let you, limit me?
See, look now…
you make me seem heartless.
To judge myself unfairly
an indefinite sentence
of glimpsing the limits of my patience
I wouldn’t know without you.
You reach for extremes,
I hunt only for my balance.
Why try distract me?
You see the rope I walk is frayed.” —

—Kahlil Gibran
“I catch glimpses of myself in windows and mirrors as we walk, as if there was another version of me, walking some parallel corridor who is as surprised to see me and I am to see her. I think we should always be distrustful of mirrors. Who is to say that mirrors don’t have their own agendas with the reflections they show. Mirrors have always caused problems for humans, yet we give them so much authority. They lead to vanity and opposites and consciousness. And while vanity is a preoccupation and opposites bread confusion, consciousness in this certain greenish light, is always a curse. It becomes nothing more than an ugly collage of metaphors in our attempts to apply being to language. These are the final thoughts I can remember, which faded like some unimportant spirit - ceased to be frightening - as the atheistic kicked in.”

“It is wrong to say time is clockwork, it is much more human than that. Time quickens and slows with feeling. Time breathes.”
—Weird little me
“My adjacent partner
and I
we are fighting,
about what it means to be.
With a jab to the jaw you say ‘to be is to belong’
and with a kick to the shin I say “to be is to become”
And through the fierce exchange of symbols
some spirits appear between us,
we must continue talking or they will stalk away.
Can you see them?
They sit between the streams of smoke
and tidal waves of consciousness.
See how they sit?
More like perfumes than visions?
Through conversations we create characters.
Please don’t dismiss me, or I shall lose sight of that sprite
and what am I, without a ghost?” —More revision ramblings….

I still can’t remember all the best things he said
“I married Isis on the 5th day of May,
but I could not hold on to her very long
so I cut off my hair and rode straight away
for the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong”
She said “where you been?”
I said “no place special”
She said “you look different”
I said “Well I guess”
She’d said “you’ve been gone”
I said “it’s only natural”
She said “you gunna stay”
I said “If you want me to, yes”
I still can’t remember all the best things he said
