“We carve up the world
and crown it with numbers—lumens, ounces,
decibels. All these things and what to do with them.
We carve up the world all the time.”
Richard Siken, War of the Foxes

“But the 8-hour workday is too profitable for big business, not because of the amount of work people get done in eight hours (the average office worker gets less than three hours of actual work done in 8 hours) but because it makes for such a purchase-happy public. Keeping free time scarce means people pay a lot more for convenience, gratification, and any other relief they can buy. It keeps them watching television, and its commercials. It keeps them unambitious outside of work. We’ve been led into a culture that has been engineered to leave us tired, hungry for indulgence, willing to pay a lot for convenience and entertainment, and most importantly, vaguely dissatisfied with our lives so that we continue wanting things we don’t have. We buy so much because it always seems like something is still missing.”
David Cain

Sometimes, at night, in bed, before I fall asleep, I think about a poem I might write, someday, about my heart, says the heart.”
Richard Siken, War of the Foxes

“I cut off my head and threw it in the sky. It turned into birds. I called it thinking.”
Richard Siken, War of the Foxes

“It should be enough. To make something beautiful should be enough. It isn’t. It should be.”
Richard Siken, War of the Foxes
