Some Poems

Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new.
The unread story is not a story; it is little black marks on wood pulp. The reader, reading it, makes it live: a live thing, a story.
I certainly wasn't happy. Happiness has to do with reason, and only reason earns it. What I was given was the thing you can't earn, and can't keep, and often don't even recognize at the time I mean joy.
When action grows unprofitable, gather information when information grows unprofitable, sleep.
I doubt that imagination can be suppressed. If you truly eradicated it in a child, he would grow up to be an eggplant.
Virginity is now a mere preamble or waiting room to be got out of as soon as possible; it is without significance. Old age is similarly a waiting room, where you go after life's over and wait for cancer or a stroke. The years before and after the menstrual years are vestigial: the only meaningful condition left to women is that of fruitfulness.
The only thing that makes life possible is permanent, intolerable uncertainty; not knowing what comes next.
A Woman is home caring for her children! even if she can't. Trapped in this well-built trap, A Woman blames her mother for luring her into it, while ensuring that her own daughter never gets out; she recoils from the idea of sisterhood and doesn't believe women have friends, because it probably means something unnatural, and anyhow, A Woman is afraid of women. She's a male construct, and she's afraid women will deconstruct her. She's afraid of everything, because she can't change. Thighs forever thin and shining hair and shining teeth and she's my Mom, too, all seven percent of her. And she never grows old.
It is good to have an end to journey towards; but it is the journey that matters in the end.
Inventions have long since reached their limit, and I see no hope for further development.
