favorite quotes:
From “Beckoned” (edited by Ben Lerner)
- At which point the driver turned and said it doesn’t need to be your fault for it to break you. (...) at which point I grew old and it was like ripping open the beehive with my hands again.
- Entenderment
- On a sentence
- First ballad
From “Tell them no”:
- So hard—no
- Matter how bad
- Expressed—
- Your own or
- Other’s pain,
- Undressed—to
- Turn from.
- The flowers I
- Pick too
- Late hiss
- In the case,
- Missing you.
- when what is
- Demanded is
- Change so
- Fundamental
- Only another
- Personality could
- Accomplish it.
- have I lived
- Something stupid?
- Am I the coward
- Responsible for
- Nothing?
- Ruth
From “Littoral Zone”/Entrance:
- Struck by the pointlessness of comparison, but what more can one want? For seeing not to degenerate into habit? And what if the demands for another kind of seeing cannot be regarded as what we take to be “seeing”? As one turns away, the retained image vitiates what swings into view.
