It's better to do a dull thing with style than a dangerous thing without it.

They were beautiful nothings

Parties sickened me. I hated the game-playing, the dirty play, the flirting, the amateurs drunks, the bores.

I will remember the kisses our lips raw with love and how you gave me everything you had and how I offered you what was left of me, and I will remember your small room the feel of you the light in the window your records your books our morning coffee our noons our nights our bodies spilled together sleeping the tiny flowing currents immediate and forever your leg my leg your arm my arm your smile and the warmth of you who made me laugh again.

this time has finished me.
