My plan was to never get married. I was going to be an art monster instead.

And that phrase - 'sleeping like a baby.' Some blonde said it blithely on the subway the other day. I wanted to lie down next to her and scream for five hours in her ear.

Some women make it look so easy, the way they cast ambition off like an expensive coat that no longer fits.

These bits of poetry that stick to her like burrs.

My plan was to never get married. I was going to be an art monster instead.

When God is a father, he is said to be elsewhere. When God is a mother, she is said to be everywhere.
