Imagine One Lacks a Basic Component
the glimmer or grain inside an actual
person remember those blurry tears
they felt at the time like evidence
planted a sort of elaborate deception
to convince oneself later like a full day
in youth spent practising one’s signature
for the writing presumably of cheques
Rain
Woke up this morning with
a terrific urge to lie in bed all day
and read. Fought against it for a minute.
Then looked out the window at the rain.
And gave over. Put myself entirely
in the keep of this rainy morning.
Would I live my life over again?
Make the same unforgivable mistakes?
Yes, given half a chance. Yes.
– Raymond Carver
What To Want
We can never know what to want, because, living only one life, we can neither compare it with our previous lives nor perfect it in our lives to come.
– Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
All Over Again
Every morning I wake up and think I’m going to start my life all over again. Then I look in the mirror and realise that I can’t.
– Julie Harris
Come For Me
Come for me if you wish, I will not run. Find me, find me in the open places with arms spread to the sky and not a trace of fear on the breath of my voice. I care not of the darkness in your hills, I worry not of the fire in your clouds. I am here, I have always been here.
– Tyler Knott Gregson
Fantastically Rocky
I just never felt so fantastically rocky in my entire life.
– J. D. Salinger
