The smallest snowstorm on record took place an hour ago in my back yard. It was approximately two flakes. I waited for more to fall, but that was it. The entire storm was two flakes.
Richard BrautiganIโll affect you slowly as if you were having a picnic in a dream. There will be no ants. It wonโt rain.
Richard BrautiganFor the rest of my life I'll be thinking about that hamburger. I'll be sitting there at the counter, holding it in my hands with tears streaming down my cheeks. The waitress will be looking away because she doesn't like to see kids crying when they are eating hamburgers.
Richard BrautiganWe walked back to iDEATH, holding hands. Hands are very nice things, especially after they have travelled back from making love.
Richard BrautiganYour Catfish Friend If I were to live my life in catfish forms in scaffolds of skin and whiskers at the bottom of a pond and you were to come by one evening when the moon was shining down into my dark home and stand there at the edge of my affection and think, โIt's beautiful here by this pond. I wish somebody loved me,โ I'd love you and be your catfish friend and drive such lonely thoughts from your mind and suddenly you would be at peace, and ask yourself, โI wonder if there are any catfish in this pond? It seems like a perfect place for them.
