What you’re trying to do when you write is to crowd the reader out of his own space and occupy it with yours, in a good cause. You’re trying to take over his sensibility and deliver an experience that moves from mere information.
Robert Stone, writer
If I do not know
You do not know
What we do not know
Serves us as an alibi
To assume other people
Would not know either
It is the lack
Of being in the shoes of others…

Who says he’s right
Is certainly dogmatic

The storm broke at dawn

She was embarrassed by the kiss and I apology and she laughed. She kissed me back and she told me. “It is okay Johnnie. I am glad you haven’t forgot me. I do remember you. You and I had the best New Year eve before you left for the war in 1991. I am so glad, you did okay. I did pray for you to be safe and sound.

And I guess we are both guilty
But neither life is a life free
And that is why we’re bleeding ink
