I like my metaphors shaken, not stirred.
worth
People who can’t make things of value make money.
in the early morning
I sit and think thoughts so potent that, though they be not about sex, they do stir my loins.
the one who sheds light
She reflects the parts of me I hide from myself. She embodies my tenderness, love, shyness, and vulnerability. She shows me there is beauty
in the parts of myself
that engender such fear in me
that I only grudgingly acknowledge them.
In the light her reflection shines, I begin to know myself in whole. In her presence, I know my measure.
assessment
I don’t need good shit. I am good shit.
never as good as i think i’d like to be in my own imagination
Pride, you get me out of bed feeling good then you cut my fucking balls off.
dilemma
I wish I could be original, but I’m terrified of being different.
awareness
In my aggregate of contrasts, I perceive a pattern, and that pattern is my world.
distinction
Contrast, Contrast! It’s never about the shade of the thing we’re looking at. It’s only ever about the shade of the thing next to the thing we’re looking at.
faith
There seem to be three kinds of religion: The kind rich people came up with to control poor people; the kind rich people co-opted to control poor people; and cults.
