Sometimes I don't know where This dirty road is taking me Sometimes I don't even know the reason why But I guess I keep a-gamblin' Lots of booze and lots of ramblin' Well it's easier than just a-waitin' around to die One time, friends, I had a ma I even had a pa Well he beat her with a belt once 'cause she cried She told him to take care of me Headed down to Tennessee Well it's easier than just a-waitin' around to die Well I came of age and I found a girl in a Tuscaloosa bar She cleaned me out and hit in on the sly I tried to hide the pain, I bought some wine and hopped a train Well it's easier than just waitin' around to die A friend said he knew Where some easy money was We robbed a man, and brother did we fly The posse caught up with me And drug me back to Muskogee Two long years waitin' around to die Well, now I'm out of prison I got me a friend at last Well he don't drink or steal or cheat or lie His name's codeine He's the nicest thing I've seen Yah, together we're gonna wait around and die Yah together we're gonna wait around and die

As the crickets’ soft autumn hum is to us so are we to the trees as are they to the rocks and the hills.

Fear by Raymond Carver Fear of seeing a police car pull into the drive. Fear of falling asleep at night. Fear of not falling asleep. Fear of the past rising up. Fear of the present taking flight. Fear of the telephone that rings in the dead of night. Fear of electrical storms. Fear of the cleaning woman who has a spot on her cheek! Fear of dogs I've been told won't bite. Fear of anxiety! Fear of having to identify the body of a dead friend. Fear of running out of money. Fear of having too much, though people will not believe this. Fear of psychological profiles. Fear of being late and fear of arriving before anyone else. Fear of my children's handwriting on envelopes. Fear they'll die before I do, and I'll feel guilty. Fear of having to live with my mother in her old age, and mine. Fear of confusion. Fear this day will end on an unhappy note. Fear of waking up to find you gone. Fear of not loving and fear of not loving enough. Fear that what I love will prove lethal to those I love. Fear of death. Fear of living too long. Fear of death. I've said that.

"Stop the clocks, kill the firstborn, rename the moon "Thatcher" and then set fire to the sea. Boil the air, ban Death, privatise the trees and drape the clouds in thick, rough, bibleblack taffeta. Strangle Time, arrest thought, dilute tears and yank a Kraken's arse til it whinnies like a narwhal. Fuck this, fuck that, fuck everything & bay at the moon like a werewolf on acid. But believe me, Tories, she ain't coming back!" ~ Martin Rowson (on Twitter)
