Now I know what loneliness is, I think. Momentary loneliness, anyway. It comes from a vague core of the self - - like a disease of the blood, dispersed throughout the body so that one cannot locate the matrix, the spot of contagion.

It never occurred to me to say no.

There is more than one good way to drown.

The truth comes to me. The truth loves me.

Before I give my body, I must give my thoughts, my mind, my dreams.

The only thing I could think of was turkey neck and turkey gizzards and I felt very depressed.

I must be lean & write & make worlds beside this to live in.
