"This desk is a ping-pong ball with something alive inside it.
This desk is in a lion's mouth.
This desk is made of something called wood, I think."

So, a lot of people ask me why I buy so many books. The truth is, I have a genetic disorder where my body doesn’t produce enough books of its own, so I have to supplement.

After the leaves have fallen, we return
To the plain sense of things. It is as if
We had come to an end of the imagination,
Inanimate in an inert Savior.

Wallace Stevens

from THE PLAIN SENSE OF THINGS

One of my all time favorites from James Tate "She looked at me as if I were insane, and then she started to undress, and so did I" #poetry

Loved this one

but they were also thinking
about their friend who wasn’t there yet
the one who goes to the school where it happened
was he coming tonight?
