Quote from: Xenophanes
But if cattle and horses or lions had hands, or were able to draw with their hands and do the work that men can do, horses would draw the forms of the gods like horses, and cattle like cattle, and they would make their bodies such as they each had themselves

A story derives from the writer's perceptive observation and careful report of scene and from structural discipline.

Would it have been worth while,
To have bitten off the matter with a smile,
To have squeezed the universe into a ball
To roll it toward some overwhelming question
To say: "I am Lazarus, come from the dead,
Come back to tell you all, I shall tell you all"

T.S. Eliot

Writing poetry is like playing virtual roulette. There is no ball to spin, there
are no numbered slots for it to click across. It’s just you, death, and the words in
your head and you are betting your blood that you can write something at least as
good as anything out there and maybe better than any dream you’ve ever had. Just you,
the words, and death.

“ Well, I’ve worried some about, you know, why write books … why are we teaching people to write books when presidents and senators do not read them, and generals do not read them. And it’s been the university experience that taught me that there is a very good reason, that you catch people before they become generals and presidents and so forth and you poison their minds with … humanity, and however you want to poison their minds, it’s presumably to encourage them to make a better world. ”

Only Socrates knew, after a lifetime of unceasing labor, that he was ignorant. Now every high-school student knows that. How did it become so easy?

"Junk is the ultimate merchandise. The junk merchant does not sell his product to the consumer, he sells the consumer to the product. He does not improve and simplify his merchandise, he degrades and simplifies the client."

William Burroughs


Although taken out of context, the 'Junk' Burroughs is referring to, could easily be applied to the 'Junk' that many companies try and sell us. It's pertinent to my situation at the moment, is all I'll say.

The mad sun rose though on the ghats
  & the saddhu in maha mudra, the great River,

and Henry was happy & beside him with excitement.
Beside himself, his possibilities;
salaaming hours of half-blind morning
while the rainy lepers salaamed back,
smiles & a passion of their & his eyes flew
in feelings not ever accorded solely to oneself.


from Dream Song 24: Oh servant Henry lectured till by John Berryman
