wouldn't we all... for pete seeger

When I was younger my slippers were red,
I could kick up my heels clean over my head,
then I got older my slippers were blue,
but still I could dance the whole night through.

Now I'm much older,
my slippers are black,
I huff to the store and puff my way back,
but never you laugh, I don't mind at all,
I'd rather be huffing than not puff at all

     I had never been sad more than a few hours and the thought of that sensation lasting a lifetime scared the hell out of me.

     Holy shit, Cut said. I'm drooling all over myself.
     I looked over at him but he black stuble on his chin and neck was dry. This shit is potent, I said.
     That's the word I'm looking for. Potent.
     Strong, I said.

     ... Upstairs my neighbors have their own long night going and they're laying out all their cards about one another. Big cruel loud cards.
     Listen to that romance, she says.
     It's all sweet talk, I say. They're yelling because they're in love.

                     p. 47 and 52 / Aurora

     Do you smoke? I asked.
     It makes me break out, she said.

marguerite duras, la vie tranquille

     "Avant moi, il n'y avait rien à ma place. Maintenant il y a moi à la place de rien.../... Voilà. Me voilà là. Je m'étire. Il fait beau. Je suis une farine au soleil."

     "Alors il ne faut plus troubler ces lentes flammes droites, il ne faut pas dire un mot qui voudrait dire qu'on a le moindre avis sur quoi que ce soit. Il faut se remettre à neuf dans l'ignorance."

     "Chaque jour, je pourrais mourir mais jamais je ne meurs. Chaque jour, je crois en savoir d'avantage qu'hier, juste de quoi mourir. J'oublie qu'hier c'était la même chose. Jamais je ne meurs."
