Gary Snyder
“Get drunk all the time. Go someplace and score.
Walk in and walk out of the Asp
Hike up Tam
Keep quitting and starting at Berkeley
Watch the pike in the Steinhart Aquarium: he doesn't move.
Sleeping with stangers
Keeping up on the news
Chanting sutras after sitting
Practicing yr frailing on guitar
Get dropped off in the fog in the night
Fall in love twenty times
Get divorced
Keep moving — move out to the Sunset
Get lost — or
Get found”
Gary Snyder, Mountains and Rivers Without End

Tillie Olsen
“And Tracy was young, just twenty, still wet behind the ears, and the old blinders were on him so he couldn't really see what was around and he believed the bull about freedomofopportunity and a chancetorise and ifyoureallywanttoworkyoucanalwaysfindajob and ruggedindividualism and something about pursuitofhappiness.”
Tillie Olsen

Gary Snyder
“Empty eye sockets of buildings just built
Soulless, they still wait the ceremony
that will make them too,
new, Big
city Gods”
Gary Snyder, Mountains and Rivers Without End

“She'd climbed in his heart without thinking, the way that a kid idly tongues a loose tooth.”
Raphael Bob-Waksberg, Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory

“History is what [hearts]
curse shared out among the holes in personhood, the cars,
in the twist of torsos, the swing of blood,
a billion and a half tons of plastic and metal
moving around bound to some insane imperative
the stiffening cast of motion, shutter and shadow
morcellized, that's my jam,
that's the molecule won't compute,
won't shut up about how weird it is
no other world is possible
except all of them”
Jasper Bernes, We Are Nothing and So Can You
