the problem with being best friends with a tiger isn’t just that you start thinking like a tiger. It’s that you assume the tiger is starting to think like you. But a tiger has tiger-thoughts and loves as a tiger loves.

“there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too clever, I only let him out
at night sometimes
when everybody's asleep.
I say, I know that you're there,
so don't be
sad.
then I put him back,
but he's singing a little
in there, I haven't quite let him
die
and we sleep together like
that
with our
secret pact
and it's nice enough to
make a man
weep, but I don't
weep, do
you?”
