There are days when that is the last place
in the world where you want to be but you
have to be there, like a movie, because it
features you.
-Richard Brautigan, Loading Mercury with a Pitchfork
There is darkness on your lantern
and pumpkins in your wind.
and Oh, they clutter up your mind
with their senseless bumping
while your heart is like a sea gull
frozen into a long distance telephone
call.
I’d like to take the darkness
off your lantern and change the pumpkins
into sky fields of ordered comets
and disconnect the refrigerator telephone
that frightens your heart into standing
still.
-Richard Brautigan, Rommel Drives on Deep Into Egypt

I just ordered Richard Brautigan’s Trout Fishing in America, The Pill versus The Springhill Mine Disaster, and In Watermelon Sugar off Amazon! I’m very excited.
