    “Poems are bullshit unless they are

    teeth or trees or lemons piled

    on a step. Or black ladies dying

    of men leaving nickel hearts

    beating them down. Fuck poems

    and they are useful, wd they shoot

    come at you, love what you are,

    breathe like wrestlers, or shudder

    strangely after pissing. We want live

    words of the hip world live flesh &

    coursing blood. Hearts Brains

    Souls splintering fire. We want poems

    like fists beating niggers out of Jocks

    or dagger poems in the slimy bellies

    of the owner-jews. Black poems to

    smear on girdlemamma mulatto bitches

    whose brains are red jelly stuck

    between ‘lizabeth taylor’s toes. Stinking

    Whores! we want “poems that kill.”
    Amiri Baraka

    “The universe doesn't allow perfection.”
    Stephen Hawking, A Brief History of Time

  • #10
    Jonathan Safran Foer
    “What about little microphones? What if everyone swallowed them, and they played the sounds of our hearts through little speakers, which could be in the pouches of our overalls? When you skateboarded down the street at night you could hear everyone's heartbeat, and they could hear yours, sort of like sonar. One weird thing is, I wonder if everyone's hearts would start to beat at the same time, like how women who live together have their menstrual periods at the same time, which I know about, but don't really want to know about. That would be so weird, except that the place in the hospital where babies are born would sound like a crystal chandelier in a houseboat, because the babies wouldn't have had time to match up their heartbeats yet. And at the finish line at the end of the New York City Marathon it would sound like war.”
    Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

    Stephen Hawking

    “Do you think I'm wonderful? she asked him one day as they leaned against the trunk of a petrified maple. No, he said. Why? Because so many girls are wonderful. I imagine hundreds of men have called their loves wonderful today, and it's only noon. You couldn't be something that hundreds of others are.”
