And there was a beautiful view
But nobody could see.
Cause everybody on the island
Was saying: Look at me! Look at me!

Laurie Anderson, "Language Is a Virus"

I loathe people who keep dogs. They are cowards who haven't got the guts to bite people themselves. - August Strindberg

The clouds sank down
down to the pavement
between five and seven tonight
taillight soup, headlight soup
we were swimming in fog light soup
down the highway in a daze
watching for the dim light
down the road, in the distance

- Raymond A. Foss, "Taillight Soup"
