“i watched as they grew legs

and flung themselves over the edge, freedom a thing that first required a great fall. gods of this church. gods of all the others. i am falling and i am asking for so much: a hymn, a pardon, a soft place to land.”
― Maria Zoccola, Helen of Troy, 1993: Poems

“Actually, it's rare for someone to die doing this sport, but it's not at all rare to want to.”
― Marshall Ulrich, Running on Empty

“You are a stupid child who was deceived, used, and thrown away like garbage.” or “You are an irresistible siren whose beauty and allure have the power to change someone’s mind, sway their soul, and alter their behavior.”
― Paris Hilton, Paris: A Memoir for Young Women in the Age of Influencers

“...all those weirdos who sit around on message boards
just waiting to lend an ear to some sweet thing who can't
stand one more half hour of driving the dress shirts
to the dry cleaner and buffing the goddamn nogahyde,
who might take a peek at my shapely megabytes
and say oh you poor honey why don't i send you a one-way
plane ticket right out to my castle in beverly hills or san francisco and that would be *that* I swear to christ”
― Maria Zoccola, Helen of Troy, 1993: Poems
