17 Dark Gems

17 dark gems:
1. I awake thinking who deserves who? There's a real argument. I say, build my bridge and forget. You say, wait.
2. I am a common man, here are my signs: *shelter, *clean air, *safety, *the end.
3. There, right there, right there's an edge. walk off.
4. I ask, did death touch you? All eyes look up.
5. I masturbate with bleach. A priest told me that it would stop the dirty habit.
6. Hospitalized. Hospitality. Hopscotch. Hope.
7. What we share in fact is direct experience. Direct experience is bust because anything less would irritate trauma. Better to just accept it.
8. Imagine total acceptance.
9. What disease will do for you. Disease will open your eyes and with it your beliefs and ask you to know what your beliefs can be. Disease will see your child to sleep and your plans to bear. Disease will not end you, it will begin you. Everyday disease will move you forward.
10. Who's got time for an examined life? Answer: not-a. no one.
11. If you let me in, I let you in. When you come alive, I come alive.
12. The baby boomers drank your milkshake.
13. Who is your audience? The absolute other pieced together with certain faculties - *language *empathy *vision, this is all.
14. Wisdom point #11, no one essentially cares. This is Nihilism. It is essentially positive.
15. Football players may sometimes make love, man on man.
16. What is love? Love is the distance between communications.
17. There are beings which live near the speed of light and regularly traverse the solar system. I saw them once. Occasionally I will attempt to speak with them when I know they are near. One day a year the world turns slowly, more slowly than usual and this is the day I can communicate.
