“And remember the old dogs
who fought so well:
Hemingway, Celine, Dostoevsky, Hamsun.
If you think they didn't go crazy
in tiny rooms
just like you're doing now
without women
without food
without hope
then you're not ready.”

“Отидох в кухнята, изпих още една бира. Включих телевизора. Книжни хора. Стъклени хора. Почувствах, че ще се побъркам, и го изключих.”

“Събудих се от някакъв шум. Още беше тъмно. Сесилия обикаляше из стаята и се обличаше.
Погледнах си часовника.
— Часът е пет — казах. — Какво правиш?
— Искам да гледам изгрева. Обожавам изгреви!

— Отивам да гледам изгрева, Ханк.”

“it's the same as before
or the other time
or the time before that.
here's a cock
and here's a cunt
and here's trouble.
only each time
you think
well now I've learned:
I'll let her do that
and I'll do this,
I no longer want it all,
just some comfort
and some sex
and only a minor
love.
now I'm waiting again
and the years run thin.
I have my radio
and the kitchen walls
are yellow.
I keep dumping bottles
and listening
for footsteps.
I hope that death contains
less than this.”
