it is at moments after i have dreamed

it is at moments after i have dreamed
of the rare entertainment of your eyes,
when (being fool to fancy) i have deemed

with your peculiar mouth my heart made wise;
at moments when the glassy darkness holds

the genuine apparition of your smile
(it was through tears always)and silence moulds
such strangeness as was mine a little while;

moments when my once more illustrious arms
are filled with fascination, when my breast
wears the intolerant brightness of your charms:

one pierced moment whiter than the rest

-turning from the tremendous lie of sleep
i watch the roses of the day grow deep


---e.e. cummings

To thine own self be true

"Nobody wants to look like an idiot.And if I am ignorant,I'll just nod my empty head like a spring neck dog in back window of '63 malibu.
Cuz I would hate for you to think my mouth is tied to nothing and my brain has gone to sleep.I'd hate for you to find out that I am not cool."
