“I have nothing to say. And I am saying it. That's poetry.”

“The high shelfWhere you stacked the bad thing, hoping for calm,Broke. It rolled down. It follows you to the end.”

“Speak your mind, but ride a very fast horse!!”

“I have nothing to sayand I am saying itand that is poetryas I need it.”

“When you date someone, you have the markers along the way, right: You kiss, you have The Talk, you say the Three Little Words, you sit on a swing set and break up. You can plot the points on a graph. And you check up with each other along the way: Can I do this? If I say this, will you say it back?"But with friendship, there's nothing like that. Being in a relationship, that's something you choose. Being friends, that's just something you are.”

“I am two fools, I know,For loving, and for saying so.”
