"the cover of a book
is more of a book
than the book is a book"
H.T. Tsiang, The Hanging on Union Square (1935)
[btw - I wrote the introduction to the new edition.]

"Kindness’ covers all of my political beliefs. No need to spell them out. I believe that if, at the end, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. I didn’t always know this and am happy I lived long enough to find it out."
Roger Ebert
nature:
what a
motherfucker
don’t fool me with your Levi jeans.
a part of me
apart of me
is feeling the
urge to fly
away; let me
grip your hand
and let’s leave
together. this
city will crinkle
us one by one
but if we are
one hearts of
two, who knows?
i hate you
and your
lake-placid-eyes
they’re so blue
they’re too blue
don’t look at me
like that;
you know. you know
last year,
we sat in the same place
the temperature
cooler then-
we were so young
or it felt like it.
I looked around me
and was discontent
the city swallowed me
whole
and spat me back out.
a year ago,
we sat here
same as before;
I don’t feel
wiser or
older now,
but the discontent
is editing itself
away—
Can we start over?
-Hi.
-Hello.
cicada invasion imminent
"God I want you
in some primal, wild way
animals want each other.
Untamed and full of teeth.
God I want you,
In some chaste, Victorian way.
A glimpse of your ankle
just kills me.
Want, Clementine von Radics (via ampliflyahhhh)
