“Even such is Time, which takes in trust
Our youth, our joys, and all we have,
And pays us but with age and dust;
Who in the dark and silent grave,
When we have wandered all our ways,
Shuts up the story of our days.”

“Street Ballad
From high above the birds look down and sing because
they see
the monstrous comedies they miss, living several storeys
higher:
the dirty degradations and the gross humiliations,
they, like the gods, without pity, look down upon from a
telephone wire.
but as they sit there high above and gaze down upon our
brutal
short and messy circumstances, they do not see the one
who stands behind a cardboard tree examining them
coldly
with one eye closed and the other staring along the barrel
of a gun.”

“But we are still mythical. We are still permanently trapped somewhere between the heroic and the pitiful. We are still godly; that’s what makes us so monstrous. But it feels like we’ve forgotten we’re much more than the sum of all the things that belong to us.”
