J Carpenter Quotes

“Peace is white sun reflections on summer pear trees, and ocean mist droplets defying gravity by air currents. Peace is caffeinated goodbye-kissing and velvet smiles laced with credence. Trumpet horns sound off the coming of Blue Jays, Swallows and Chickadee’s. And there is no sadness echoing within or without. There is a taste of God in every grass blade and car horn raging in the city. The stop lights are all green, and there are children playing in the fountains. A dog laps my hand, and finally—I remembered what it’s all about.”
― J. Carpenter, You, Me & The End of The World: Poetry Anthology

“I feel like three million years of anguish crystalized.
Five past lives of bad karma brought me here.
But— I guess you have to be buried alive
Like hot carbon atoms pulverized
To become a paragon of virtuous love-wonder.
Look at this shiny rock now.
I’m a diamond, bitches”
― J. Carpenter , You, Me & The End of The World: Poetry Anthology
