Quoted in the Grove:
You can make anything by writing.
~C S Lewis
If this typewriter can’t do it, then f*** it, it can’t be done.
~Tom Robbins
How can a novelist achieve atonement when, with her absolute power of deciding outcomes, she is also God? There is no one, no entity or higher form that she can appeal to, or be reconciled with, or that can forgive her. There is nothing outside her.
~Ian McEwan
EndQuote:
Writing gives you the illusion of control, and then you realize it’s just an illusion, that people are going to bring their own stuff into it.
~David Sedaris

Prewritten: renegade, cardboard
~BarTalk
The Surprise of Doors
Doors unlabeled and doors unlocked
Mundane doors to scenes that shock
She was beauty fresh as air, unadorned
As bare of wear as her moment born
Traitorous blood, renegade heart
Cardboard knees quake, breath won’t start
Decorum states, tho not written law
I beg pardon, avert my gaze and withdraw
My eyes lock up, refuse and stay
She most kind does not wave my gaze away
She stands full splendor and does not move
No need to woo me because she did not shoo me
Now we celebrate ten years late and still in love
~
Memorials
Renegade and the rebel
The apostate who abandons
And a needful resistance
Cast iron or cut marble
Cardboard cover of books
~
Trespass
Post a card, board a train
Spread the word-a warning
Children-a gay door waits
That opens to curiosity
Disaster and new worlds
~
5-7-5 x 4
renegade music
charred black cardboard poster reads
Stravinsky was here
~
confines of marriage
paper promise, walls of cardboard
renegade yearnings
~
renegade mountains
drink the sky piss out rivers
grow trees for cardboard
~
ban cardboard toe tags
treat the renegade organ
with love and a pill
