"But already you’ve got that look, like wherever you are you wish you’re someplace else..."

“But already you’ve got
that look, like wherever you are
you wish you’re someplace else —
though specific or
otherwise, you don’t say. I say
I love how snow falls
on gray snow. And at night
you can see the stars here,
but really, how long do you want
to look at stars? If you say it
and say it and say it, even happy
sounds meaningless. Or sad or sorry
or sublime. My favorite word is now.
No, now my favorite word is
the one you’re about to say.
“Wish is a funny word,” you say,
pouring coffee. “You don’t
hear it much anymore. Must be
we all got what we wanted.””

- Excerpt from “In Lansing,” Matthew Thorburn

“I have been calling back
America with your apartment
wrapped around it: heart grown,
absent, stupid, stop it: we are bad
books about our favorite topics.”

““I spent my entire youth writing slowly with revisions and endless rehashing speculation and deleting and got so I was writing one sentence a day and the sentence had no FEELING. Goddamn it, FEELING is what I like in art, not CRAFTINESS and the hiding of feelings.””

- Jack Kerouac

"Like eight darlings picking corn from their teeth. I know how this looks. Like Portuguese churches..."

“Like eight darlings picking corn from
their teeth. I know how this looks. Like
Portuguese churches on the moon, the strong
arm of a place where space moves behind
time and a box of old Playboys is just how
it feels. Getting knocked down by the white
of a callery pear, mistaking London planes
for sycamores. When you have been ruined
by small events, waking up always feels
like walking alone in a woods; there will be
no mark from a glass of cold water on your
bedside table and the sounds through an open
window (crickets, a highway) will frame how
little I care for you. I carry you as if you were
my heart like a bag of honey.”

- “The Driver Says,” Robert Ostrom
