Wet sock.

It's just lurking on the stove.

We thought we were done with these things but we were wrong.

We thought, because we had power, we had wisdom.

We thought the long train would run to the end of Time.

We thought the light would increase.

Now the long train stands derailed and the bandits loot it.

Now the boar and the asp have power in our time.

Now the night rolls back on the West and the night is solid.

Our fathers and ourselves sowed dragon’s teeth.

Our children know and suffer the armed men.

Apesar de Você (In Spite of You)

Today you are in charge

What you say goes

There is no discussion, no

Today my people walk

Talking low

And looking to the ground, you see

You invented this state

And invented

All this darkness

You who invented sin

Forgot to invent

Forgiveness

In spite of you

Tomorrow will be

Another day...

I feel like most folks on Tumblr understand this and think about it at least once a day.

Blizzard in New York City, 1950

Sometimes you hear, fifth-hand,

As epitaph:

He chucked up everything

And just cleared off,

And always the voice will sound

Certain you approve

This audacious, purifying,

Elemental move.

And they are right, I think.

We all hate home

And having to be there:

I detest my room,

It's specially-chosen junk,

The good books, the good bed,

And my life, in perfect order:

So to hear it said

He walked out on the whole crowd

Leaves me flushed and stirred,

Like Then she undid her dress

Or Take that you bastard;

Surely I can, if he did?

And that helps me to stay

Sober and industrious.

But I'd go today,

Yes, swagger the nut-strewn roads,

Crouch in the fo'c'sle

Stubbly with goodness, if

It weren't so artificial,

Such a deliberate step backwards

To create an object:

Books; china; a life

Reprehensibly perfect.
