I Thought You Were Sane,"

And I Said To Myself That He Was The First Thing That I Had Ever Missed In My Life.

When You Clean Up A City, You Destroy It.

Modern Women ... They Don't Sew Your Pockets ... Forget That.

In The Cupboard Sits My Bottle Like A Dwarf Waiting To Scratch Out My Prayers. I Drink And Cough Like Some Idiot At A Symphony, Sunlight And Maddened Birds Are Everywhere, The Phone Rings Gamboling Its Sound Against The Odds Of The Crooked Sea; I Drink Deeply And Evenly Now, I Drink To Paradise And Death And The Lie Of Love.

I Remember Awakening One Morning And Finding Everything Smeared With The Color Of Forgotten Love.
