I live on Earth at present, and I don’t know what I am.
I know that I am not
a category. I am not
a thing — a noun.
I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process — an
integral function of
the universe.
— R. Buckminster Fuller
An Unquiet Mind by Kay Redfield Jamison
I can’t convey it and he cant see it; theres nothing to be done. I cant think, I cant calm this murderous cauldron, my grand ideas of an hour ago seem absurd and pathetic, my life is in ruins and-worse still-ruinous; my body is uninhabitable. It is raging and weeping and full of destruction and wild energy gone amok. In the mirror I see a creature I dont know but must live with and share my...

WISHBONE
You saved my life he says I owe you everything. You don’t, I say, you don’t owe me squat, let’s just get going, let’s just get gone, but he’s
relentless,

Multiplying in a Column M by F | Vera Pavlova
Multiplying in a Column M by F

the crucible of tenderness would melt
memories, and I would sleep, my cheek
pressed against your back, as on a motorbike…
time seems to drip like Dali
Spaces by Arkaye Kierulf
Your sadness is immaterial. You did

The Arsonist Stood Up In Court And Said | Jeffrey...
I am not an arsonist. I dreamt
the building was a phoenix
and needed my help. Before sticking me
in a sentence, like a four-syllable word
with only one meaning, consider
what becomes of the ashes: see
how after smearing a palm-full
hair grows on a bald man’s scalp, how
just a sprinkle makes irises sprout through
sidewalk cracks. You call me sick,
but have you ever seen a suicidal...

“Don’t they know that I promised to die!
I’m keping in practice.
I’m merely staying in shape.
The pills are a mother, but better,
every color and as good as sour balls.
I’m on a diet from death.”
“My supply
of tablets
has got to last for years and years.
I like them more than I like me.
It’s a kind of marriage.
It’s a kind of war...

I exist. It´s sweet, so sweet, so slow…
“The longer I live, the more beautiful life becomes.”
