Robbery on a Sunday.

The destruction of trust
is best done slowly,
through simple neglect and small indiscretions.
this gives you longer to savour the flavour
as your children learn to give up on
you, a piece at a time.


I've heard that writers read a lot
(naturally).
But I've also heard, that when writing,
a writer often needs to stop reading.
gasp!
No comprendo Monsieur!


I have more sympathy
 for those writers
who talked exclusively
about
sex or
 other
topics.
it's very easy to get a one track mind
out here in the wilderness
of your head.


Classiness. and by that I mean quality, internal fiber
is more valuable than Charisma.
though the second one attains
flashier results, easier.


trying to get into the practice of doing a good
habit repeatedly, even one you enjoy
seems very much like swimming
upstream, vs a current that probably
gets harder even as you get tireder.
until unless you pass that magical moment
when things start going to other way.
I've experienced that moment a few times,
but so rarely
in my life,
that I'm basing this mostly on legendary hearsay.

Said the Duchess

Playing strip poker with any
 (but particularily your)
 butler
can be a memorable experience all
 it's own,
especially if he cheats.

On my mental functioning

passing a horse on a donkey
may be a little bit absurd,
but sucess at it is quite a heady
feeling.

The Question #38
What would you give for a taste
 of brilliance, imagination, and clarity,
 if you knew it wasn't going to last
and you were left with
only the memories
of what you used
to be?
