“I would certainly end up forever crying the blues into a coffee cup in a park for old men playingchess or silly games of some sort.”

“I just want a hot cup of coffee,black,and I don’t want to hear about your troubles.”

“but isn't there alwaysone good thingto look back on?think ofhow many cups of coffee wedrank together.”

“Dear child, I only did to youwhat the sparrowdid to you; I am old when it isfashionable to be young; I cry when it isfashionable to laugh.I hated you when it would have taken less courage to love.”

“our bones like stems into the sky will forever cry victory”

“Ihave a face like a washrag. I singlove songs and carry steel.I would rather die than cry. I can'tstand hounds can't live without them.I hang my head against the whiterefrigerator and want to scream likethe last weeping of life forever butI am bigger than the mountains.”

“some men neverdieand some men neverlivebut we're all alivetonight.”
