Flashes 26

What’s
required
is kindness

Americans at leisure:
just resting up
to go psycho!

A style
supported by
insupportables

*

City streets scenes—
reminding you so forcibly
of the failure of the world

Don’t
kill yourself
over stupid shit

The greatest
gift is
calmly sitting still

*

I’m not afraid
of the sadness of life,
he thought as he entered the bar

If you’re going full throttle
about something all the time
you will crash badly

The courage
to look the other guy in the eye
and smile

*

“I’m an actor alright—
but only when I’m
kidding around!”

The start of the journey
was only a pretext
for something unseen

I hate this age
I’m a rebel
of time!

*

It seems like
a silly ruse
all of it

That star
up there
is helping me

Playing golden music
in the golden butter sun
and realizing it’s my birthday

*

“This ale
tastes like
a copper penny!”

They live a mean life—
so that you can live
in a hothouse

At leisure in public—
and not having
to talk!

*

“It’s hard
being young—
I didn’t like it!”

When fame came
he was already
tired

 “When I’m not living in
a delusional fantasy world
I get very depressed!”

*

Be
Here
Buddha

Don’t
envy him
his woman

Too much
toughness
is death
