“

there is a loneliness in this world so great
that you can see it in the slow movement of
the hands of a clock.

people so tired
mutilated
either by love or no love.

people just are not good to each other
one on one.

the rich are not good to the rich
the poor are not good to the poor.

we are afraid.

our educational system tells us
that we can all be
big-ass winners.

it hasn’t told us
about the gutters
or the suicides.

or the terror of one person
aching in one place
alone

untouched
unspoken to

watering a plant.

have you ever thought about how weird sleeping is like we basically dress ourselves in special sleeping clothes and lay on special sleeping mats then spend the next few hours completely comatose all the while hallucinating vividly

“When a man sleeps, he is steeped and lost in a limp toneless happiness: awake he is restless, tortured by his body and the illusion of existence. Why have men spent the centuries seeking to overcome the awakened body? Put it to sleep, that is a better way. Let it serve only to turn the sleeping soul over, to change the blood-stream and thus make possible a deeper and more refined sleep.”

- Flann O’Brien, At Swim-Two-Birds (via larmoyante)

archiemcphee:

Have you ever seen a cuter Wookiee family portrait? This awesome painting is the latest work by artist and Geyser of Awesome friend Kristin Tercek, aka Cuddly Rigor Mortis (previously featured here). It was created for a group Star Wars-themed exhibition hosted by Gallery Nucleus and entitled Saga in the Stars: A Tribute to a Galaxy Far, Far Away.

“This is a large piece for me (15” x 11.25”) and I really wanted to make a statement since Star Wars shaped the course of my life. I present “Kaapauku Life Day Portrait” with Chewie and his family, Lumpy, Itchy and Malla (anyone see the Star Wars Holiday Special?). I hope this piece makes everyone smile because it was so much fun to paint!”

The show opens Saturday May 4th and runs through May 26th. Click here to view more pieces from this stellar exhibition.

“

All booze is just a sleeping pill now,
I close my eyes. Love.
You taste like someone waving.

I try and drink away the thing in my brain
that makes me wish these lines
are really what I feel.

Sometimes living is a swiss bliss
and sometimes it’s a rot popsicle.
The difference between bad living and bad loving
is a slipped keystroke.

“

There is no room in our hearts
for the dead, though we often imagine that there is,
or wish it to be so,
to preserve them in our warmth,
our sweet darkness, where their fists
might beat at the soft contours of our love.
And though we might like to think
that they would call out to us, they could never do so,
being there. They would never dare to speak,
lest their mouths, our names, fill
quietly with blood.

We carry the dead in our hands
as we might carry water - with a careful,
reverential tread.
There is no other way.

How easily, how easily their faces spill.

”
