The Lines

On the subway

Going from Brooklyn into Manhattan

In the window

Next to the woman

With tight sinewy braids, curved pink fingernails,

And a black leather jacket

that covered her round belly

I saw them

Two lines from my nose

To my mouth

I wanted to show you

"A new morning"

you sang 

I danced 

We Played

To push away

Our years

We’ve always been old

Stealth parting

The quiet came fast

We craved it like fresh air

Distance

And spoken borders

Separated us

And we let it

Most definitely agree

I think not just for women, but for men too, America has got it all wrong. As humans we need to laugh and play and create and fill our souls, not just "crank."  Day time schedules and work schedules need to start understanding this. We are a rich enough country that we can afford to chill. And chill we should. Maybe if we chill more, we will mature more, and actually have more wisdom. Horrible schedules, deadlines, kill the part of us that can reflect and grow. The sooner we realize this, the happier the whole country will be.

locals

I read the article but need to reread to give anything substantial. I thinks it's quite good. Some of the sentences are super long though I like them I have heard too many disparaging remarks about what these locals call a "run-on sentence" personally I think they are a beautiful though a difficult written form for their complexity but ppl here generally hate complexity.

WO MAN

Every modern person between 20-50 years old has three parts. The working part, the creating part, the emotional part. Most only develop the first. Some special ones develop the first and the second. Very rare ones develop all three.

And so it was.

good ian fleming quotes that reminded me of you
'the blubbery arms of the soft life had Bond round the neck and they were slowly strangling him.  he was a man of war and when, for a long period, there was no war, his spirit went into a decline.'
 also:

'he had thought to break Bond's nerve by playing him for ten thousand dollars.  but goldfinger could not have known that high tension was bond's natural way of life and that pressure and danger relaxed him.'




Five years ago only war, literally, could keep me un-depressed. But war is  superficial to keep me. Now it's something much much more close to the bone. Nature, colors, smells, sounds, and the most powerful of all, an elevated human. And the process of creating that occurs  after the interaction w all of the above.

If I close my eyes when you sing I can feel you in my stomach until you and my stomach cease to exist. We are absorbed into the atmosphere. We become sparkling lights like the reflections on the leaves of a tree in sunshine.

hold onto
                 the truth
                                       and let the rest
                                                               fall away
