Breakfast in America...in Paris

Existentialism in Paris

One always dies too soon--or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are--your life, and nothing else.

A hard thing to contemplate but I have been contemplating it a lot recently. Good or bad, I'm not sure.

Dirty Water

I love the dirty grimy river water

slapping up against the manmade banks

The way it slithers 

through the metropolitan bustle

constantly cleansing with its filth

soothing with its stability and perpetual adaptation

Time Flies
