Summer's End

"we live to hear the slack-jawed gasping
we live under a halo of held breath
and when the children raise up a giant shield
of laughter, it's like they're fending off death
and we can make something bigger
than any one of us alone
and then the clowns will take off their make-up
and the people will go home..."
~Freakshow, Ani DiFranco~

I'm nobody! Who are you?

How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!
--Emily Dickinson

Words of Wisdom

"Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. THAT'S relativity."
--Albert Einstein

I bet Albert Einstein was a really neat guy to know. Intelligent and spunky and quirky, all rolled into one crazy-haired package. Right up my alley!
