Dry rot
The smell...was fresh and bitter and at the same time nauseating.
Hilda wondered if it were not caused by some extremely recherché form of
dry rot.

Ya bum
She knows the favorite word that can be used as a noun, verb or adjective, sometimes all in one sentence. She also knows the favorite sexual image that haunts the language of these hockey players as if all living had been reduced either to committing a sexual act or to preventing one, which is more or less a reflection of what the guys are doing out there on the ice with their hockey sticks and the puck."

Gimme all the Hass you got.
Everyone comes here from a long way off
(is a line from a poem I read last night).
--September Notebook: Stories
Ah, love, this is fear. This is fear and syllables
and the beginnings of beauty. We have walked the city,
--Sunrise
The woman I love is greedy,
but she refuses greed.
She walks so straightly.
When I ask her what she wants,
she says, "A yellow bicycle."
--The Yellow Bicycle
Afternoon cooking in the fall sun--
who is more naked
than the man
yelling, "Hey, I'm home!"
to an empty house?

A man takes
A man takes his sadness down to the river and throws it in the river
but then he's still left
with the river. A man takes his sadness and throws it away
but then he's still left with his hands.

Falls--& Silence
If he stands still,if he doesn't move a muscle, maybe he can keep it from happening. Things will stop and no one will ever die. His body's shaking, he can't breathe, here at the water's edge he's at the end of everything. You can't live unless there's a way to hold on to things. He can't go back because he's already used it up, he can't go forward because then it all begins to end, he's stuck in this place where nothing means anything, it's streaming in on him like a darkness, a sickness, he's seen something he isn't supposed to see, only grownups are allowed to see it, it's making him old, it's ruining everything, his temples are pounding, he feels a scream rising in his chest, he's going to fall onto the sandy orange earth. "Ahoy, matey!" shouts Julia and with a wild cry that tears through his throat he steps over the line and begins his day.

Strawberries:
Eversweet/Ozark Beauty/Fort Laramie/Honeoye/Earliglow/Jewel/Winona Giant/Sparkle Supreme
Selection Tips: Junebearers set large crops over several weeks in June, making them a good choice for preserves or freezing. Everbearers produce a slightly smaller crop in June, with a second crop later.

Like if somebody had a lot of trouble in their life, but was still alive to tell about it.
"It was an old word, something he found in a dictionary, a word that had not been used for centuries. The detectives write this word down: merry-go-sorry. It means a story with good news and bad, she says slowly, frowning, remembering. Joy and sorrow mixed together, yes, that's what my son used to say."
Cary Holladay, Merry-Go-Sorry

“For it is a strange thing, but apparently true, that those who speak speak rather for the pleasure of speaking against than for the pleasure of speaking with, and the reason for that is perhaps this, that in agreement the voice cannot be raised quite so high as it can in disagreement.” — Samuel Beckett, Watt.

Artichoke of dawn
29.
And so in the sixth month of winter of twenty-two
years old I flew west
Artichoke of dawn
Hanging-grey apron dawn
Housewife dawn
Newsprint dawn hitting a stoop
Always behind me as I went
