sleep despair wish
I can't read or sleep. Without hope or youth or money I sit constantly wishing I were dead.
sleep gains conformity
It's terrible to allow conventional habits to gain a hold on a whole household; to eat, sleep and live by clock ticks.
time distance sleep
I take a sun bath and listen to the hours, formulating, and disintegrating under the pines, and smell the resiny hardihood of the high noon hours. The world is lost in a blue haze of distances, and the immediate sleeps in a thin and finite sun.
boredom boring bores
She refused to be bored chiefly because she wasn't boring.
summer dream moon
I play the radio and moon about...and dream of Utopias where its always July the 24th 1935, in the middle of summer forever.
smart
Oh, we are going to be so happy away from all the things that almost got us but couldn't quite because we were too smart for them!
summer spring errors
Life has puffed and blown itself into a summer day, and clouds and spring billow over the heavens as if calendars were a listing of mathematical errors.
time maturity years
By the time a person has achieved years adequate for choosing a direction, the die is cast and the moment has long since passed which determined the future.
action annoying
Nothing annoys me more than having the most trivial action analyzed and explained.
sunset cat gun
The sky lay over the city like a map showing the strata of things and the big full moon toppled over in a furrow like the abandoned wheel of a gun carriage on a sunset field of battle and the shadows walked like cats and I looked into the white and ghostly interior of things and thought of you and I looked on their structural outsides and thought of you and was lonesome.
writing men ends
It is the loose ends with which men hang themselves.
dream men feelings
Oh, the secret life of man and woman--dreaming how much better we would be than we are if we were somebody else or even ourselves, and feeling that our estate has been unexploited to its fullest.
feet support compromise
There seemed to be some heavenly support beneath his shoulder blades that lifted his feet from the ground in ecstatic suspension, as if he secretly enjoyed the ability to fly but was walking as a compromise to convention.
summer song philosophy
We walked at night towards a cafe blooming with Japanese lanterns and I followed your white shoes gleaming like radium in the damp darkness. Rising off the water, lights flickered an invitation far enough away to be interpreted as we liked; to shimmer glamourously behind the silhouette of retrospective good times when we still believed in summer hotels and the philosophies of popular songs.
