There are people who live inside their heads and their intellects. It's something one is born with and stuck with. It's not something you make a decision about.
Charles SimicI left parts of myself everywhere, The way absent-minded people leave Gloves and umbrellas Whose colors are sad from dispensing so much bad luck

Swept off once and for all. I think that is very, very funny.
