mind notion new-things
I wasn't afraid of going places or doing new things. I would do just about anything or go anywhere. I'd get a notion in my mind and just follow it.
song writing intimacy
It's striking how commercially viable that impulse for instant intimacy is right now, especially in songs and writing.
important facts said
That said, I've never thought the fact that I'm a woman was important to my work.
islands long tests
And I really wanted a driver's license. I was 43, had my learner's permit and had failed the test once already - but that was in Riverhead, on Long Island.
powerful kindness simple
Kindness to me is only powerful if it has the cruel streak behind it. If someone is kind all the time under all circumstances, they're just simple-minded. Kindness is only worth something if you have the cruel streak to back it up.
new-york firsts states
In the end, my pursuit of the elusive New York State driver's license became about much more than a divorced woman's learning to drive for the first time.
thinking names upstairs
My name is Luka I live on the second floor. I live upstairs from you, yes, I think you've seen me before.
timeless of-context consequence
I'd like to meet you In a timeless placeless place Somewhere out of context And beyond all consequences.
eye waiting solitude
Solitude stands by the window She turns her head as I walk in the room I can see by her eyes she's been waiting Standing in the slant of the late afternoon
eye blue today
Today I am a small blue thing Like a marble or an eye
years shining gleam
Last year's troubles, They shine up so prettily, They gleam with a lustre they don't have today.
song smart writing
A lot of my writing is not terribly civilized. Sometimes I listen to songs by very smart writers who assume that the world is a civil place with certain formalities that people follow, but I don't see things that way. My own experience tells me that life is not like that. That's why I write the way I do.
girl crazy mean
Girls are crazy and mean. They don't fight fair.
world emotion responsible
My intellect has always been more responsible than my emotions for how I respond to the world.
