SALIENCE

"The absurd man thus catches sight of a burning and frigid, transparent and limited universe in which nothing is possible but everything is given, and beyond which all is collapse and nothingness. He can then decide to accept such a universe and draw from it his strength, his refusal to hope, and the unyielding evidence of a life without consolation."

perfect.

The last cigarettes are smoked, the loaves are sliced.
And lest this be taken for wry sorrow
Drown the spider in wine.

You are much more than simply dead;
I am a dish for your ashes
I am a fist for your vanished air.

The most terrible thing about life
is finding it
gone.

- Bukowski

always waiting

always thinking the next person i meet
is gonna be the one that saves me.

sitting alone, chain-smoking, thinking of things i haven't thought of in a long time.

i wish you were here.
