Title deeds generally outlast poems.
Reading gives you some place to go when you have to stay where you are.
Sex is not imaginary, but it is not quite real either.
At retirement, switching from "I must" to "I want" leaves me puzzled and uneasy.
Beauty and virtue: the most kissable ass in the world is no guarantee of good intentions.
I read less and less. I have not forgiven books for their failure to tell me the truth and make me happy.
