“

On the stage it is always now.

Imagine then, by miracle, with me,
(Ambiguous gifts, as what gods give must be)
What could not possibly be there,
And learn a style from a despair.

William Empson

Not to be born is the best for man;
After the kiss comes the impulse to throttle,
Break the embraces, dance while you can.

W. H. Auden

and break onetwothreefourfive pigeons-

Jesus
he was a handsome man
and what i want to know is
how do you like your blueeyed boy
Mister Death

E. E. Cummings

My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, but just enjoy your ice cream while it’s on your plate—that’s my philosophy.
