Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis
Hey Charley I'm pregnant
Living on 9th Street
Right above a dirty bookstore
Off Euclid Avenue
I stopped taking dope
And I quit drinking whiskey

Lhasa de Sela - Meu amor, meu amor
Meu amor, meu amor,
Meu corpo em movimento,
Minha voz procura,
Do seu prprio lamento.
Meu limo de amargura,
Meu punhal a crescer,
Ns paramos o tempo,
No sabemos morrer.
E nascemos, nascemos,
Do nosso entristecer.
Meu amor, meu amor
Meu pssaro cinzento,
A chorar a lonjura,
Do nosso afastamento.
Meu amor, meu amor,
Meu n de sofrimento,
Minha m de ternura,
Minha nau de tormento.
Este mar no tem cura,
Este cu no tem ar,
Ns paramos o vento,
No sabemos nadar.
E morremos, morremos
Devagar, devagar.
Ernest Hemingway - The Killers (1927)

I dont know, said Al. I dont know what I want to eat.
Outside it was getting dark. The street-light came on outside the window. The two men at the counter read the menu. From the other end of the counter Nick Adams watched them. He had been talking to George when they came in.
Ill have a roast pork tenderloin with...
