it is a waiting without hope, more like
a prayer for unmerited grace.

“I can see myself sitting on my dust heap making a world in my mind as surely as God created this one. But God saw his world. I’ll never see mine except—this way.”

East of Eden

the meek have inherited

if I suffer at this
typewriter
think how I’d feel among the lettuce pickers
Of Salinas?
I think of the men I’ve known in factories
With no way to get out
Choking while living
Choking while laughing
At Bob hope or lucile ball while
2 or 3 children beat tennis balls against the walls

Some suicides are never recorded

DNF’d homesick for another world, might pick it back up some day. But, I did start love is a dog from hell and read like 80 pages over two days. I guess I prefer it.
