Sun, Tides, Moon, Brides
Profound Sillyness, Laughter Aside
Morning Coffee, a Blank Sheet
Freight Trains, An Airport Meet
Cold Water, Cool Linens
Found Memories, New Beginnings
Echoed Words, Novel Ideas
Dried Tears, Double Sneezes
Tall Trees, Monkey Faces
All the Sky and Wide Open Spaces
This is a list of some beautiful things
Now let's look at what else life brings
Unflushed Toilets, Undone Dishes
Pointless Violence, Selfish Wishes
Empty Pockets, Untimely Bills
Dope Sickness, The Last of the Pills
Fear of Truth, Transparent Lies
Hungry Mosquitos, Flesh-eating Flies
Missed Busses, Forgotten Things
Bad Tattoos, Broken Wings
Repeated Errors, Wasted Food
Just Waking Up, In a Bad Mood
They told me that there would be days like the latter,
But the ones with the former are the ones that will matter.
Ceux qui ont apparié notre vie à un songe ont eu de la raison...Nous veillons dormants et veillants dormons. -Montaigne
Intro
O full-orb'd moon, did but thy rays
Their last upon mine anguish gaze!
Beside this desk, at dead of night,
Oft have I watched to hail thy light:
Then, pensive friend! o'er book and scroll,
With soothing power, thy radiance stole!
In thy dear light, ah, might I climb,
Freely, some mountain height sublime,
Round mountain caves with spirits ride,
In thy mild haze o'er meadows glide,
And, purged from knowledge-fumes, renew
My spirit, in thy healing dew!
Goethe: Faust I.
