Quote
It seems the recipe for human life is:3 lbs. of crumpled flesh generating too much electricity to handle,Atop bodies that aren't ever as touched as much as we please,Powered by hearts that end up magnetizing to the wrong people,Accompanied by souls that talk to other souls up until disease.

Quote
Live in the stretch.Extending your limbs out,In a burn, in a hollow trespass,Tremoring, a second away from a shout,And keep going after it hurts-- the animal won't.Live in the stretch.It is the only way to know anything in the dark.It is the only way to feel on fire.The animals eat well, but we can pass the mark.And if beavers land on the moon, this poem has expired.

Quote
We will always be tired, stressed, Processing a tragedy, and/or a little hungry--Like a wild animal, in the middle.The soul comes to play in what we choose to do after.

Quote
People carry too many memories on their back and after a while it gets too hard to walk. The poets say you get stronger, but the scientists say that overworking the muscle deteriorates the muscle. There had been sensations Isaac wanted to feel, people to meet, and places to see, but the torture one had to endure to get to any one of those points required three to five suicides.

Quote
Pretty faces have distracted incoming hands ready to stab. Sex has disguised arguments. Politeness has prevented confrontation. Laughing has slowed down revelation. Emotions have been misinterpreted as agreements. Judgment has hampered our listening. Perhaps, for now, we are more accurately defined by what we say or think and not how we seem or look.

Quote
I like to think there’s a place where prayers go. That every prayer ever whispered is a brick to construct a better world far away that doesn’t need to suffer. As if their way of life is dependent on our wishing for one over here.

Quote
We are human because there is more than one of us. A man itself is like pigment without the "hue.

To trust the future will take care of itself is to deny an obvious and necessary revolution.
