pensive
Everything that I have seen, heard, and observed I have collected and exploited. My works have been nourished by countless different individuals, by innocent and wise ones, people of intelligence and dunces. Childhood, maturity, and old age have all brought me their thoughts...their perspectives on life. I have often reaped what others have sowed. My work is the work of a collective being that bears [my] name.
--Goethe

Next time you visit me, I am giving you Pratchett. You will like Tiffany Aching.

I have pursued, alas, philosophy,
Jurisprudence, and medicine,
And, help me God, theology,
With fervent zeal through thick and thin.
And here, poor fool, I stand once more,
No wiser than I was before.
They call me Magister, Doctor, no less,
And for some ten years, I would guess,
Through ups and downs and tos and fros
I have led my pupils by the nose —
And see that there is nothing we can know!

— Goethe

mask of the hour

black hands held so high
the vulture wheels and dives
something on the thermals yanked his chain
he smelled your boring apex
rotting on the train tracks
he laughed under his breath
because you thought that you could outrun sorrow

take your own advice:
this thundering and lightning brings you rain
you run an airtight mission
a Cousteau expedition
to find a diamond at the bottom of the drain

mockingbird sings
in the middle of the night
all his songs are stolen so he hides
he stole them out from whippoorwills
and screaming car alarms
he sings them for you special
he knows you're afraid of the dark
