"The shape of a town changes faster, alas, than a mortal's heart.

Paris change! mais rien dans ma melancholie n'a bouge! (...) Et mes chers souvernirs sont plus lourds que des rocs."


Happy Birthday to my little Red.
Your tiny feet dangle in the ponds in my head
Happily exploring the depths of the East
I hope you will enjoy a Praguian birthday feast.


(First line and second line from "Le cigne" by Charles Baudelaire)

Naked I came from my mother's womb and naked i will depart


"Qu'est-ce-que la poesie? Qu'est-ce-que l'ame?... Lorsqu'un poeme, ou simplement un vers provoque chez the lecteur une sorte de choc, le tire hors de lui-meme, le jetant dans le reve, ou au contraire le contraint a descendre en lui plus profondement jusqu'a le confronter avec l'etre et le destin, a ces signes se reconnait la reussite poetique."

If someone ventures a word with you,
will you be impatient? But who can keep from speaking?

Please don't call me that again. Pause. 


("Anthologie de la Poesie Francaise" - Georges Pompidou; Book of Job, Eliphaz.)

Does Job fear God for Nothing

My intention is to tell of bodies changed.
Of bodies chang'd to various forms, I sing.

Danger hat! I'm in a trance, you see this place is terrible. Everyone is an awful thing on the outside. I don't know about the inside but the outside is just an awful thing.

The Rapid Ascend to Adulthood!

Klaws! My twig, your eyeball! Eventually.

Atmosphere atmosphere atmosphere atmosphere. 

White overalls.

Cleets. Brains. Floor. Mops. Bucket. Water. Drains. Brains Drains Brains Drains.

I'd like anyone to write my movie a theme song. badass eerie ridiculous odd.

Women: Crazy. Men: Assholes.

Generalizations!

"Look at the brightside.." My twig, your eyeball. Now.

Made in U.S.A

Who is that actress with iris eyes so heavy and dark like a bouquet

The Japanese girl suddenly looked something like a monet

Surely like me she worry of their silly wordplays

She uses only familiar words

“you’ll miss me honey, some of these days”

why then this feeling of long agony

and my life in the world

who could ever still believe in them

she only loved the here and now and I was the color of time

she spoke of elsewhere

forever elsewhere I listened and dreamed sublime

a woman is a door to the unknown halls a woman is like the triumph of naked souls

do you remember that song

the tone of that foolish carol

Rough and Tough like Leather

The sequel begins here. I've crossed bridges with troll tolls and I don't regret burning those. No regret, just relief.

Hello New York.

So, do you party?

and say goodbye 
to the weather girl just let her die.

earth continent scars

It was one of those days when it's a minute away from snowing and there's this electricity in the air, you can almost hear it. And this bag was, like, dancing with me. Like a little kid begging me to play with it. For fifteen minutes. And that's the day I knew there was this entire life behind things, and... this incredibly benevolent force, that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid, ever. Video's a poor excuse, I know. But it helps me remember... and I need to remember... Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world I feel like I can't take it, like my heart's going to cave in.
