Emily

“I have emotions

that are like newspapers that

read themselves.

I go for days at a time

trapped in the want ads.

I feel as if I am an ad

for the sale of a haunted house:

18 rooms

$37,000

I'm yours

ghosts and all.”
― Richard Brautigan, Revenge of the Lawn: Stories 1962-1970

“I’ve had so many knives stuck into me, when they hand me a flower I can’t quite make out what it is. It takes time.”
― Charles Bukowski

“If I never see you again
I will always carry you
inside
outside

on my fingertips
and at brain edges

and in centers
centers
of what I am of
what remains.”
― Charles Bukowski, Living on Luck

“Let us pretend that my mind is a taxi... and suddenly you are riding in it.”
― Richard Brautigan
