islands long tests
And I really wanted a driver's license. I was 43, had my learner's permit and had failed the test once already - but that was in Riverhead, on Long Island.
new-york firsts states
In the end, my pursuit of the elusive New York State driver's license became about much more than a divorced woman's learning to drive for the first time.
thinking doors low-self-esteem
Yes I think I'm okay, walked into the door again.
thinking names upstairs
My name is Luka I live on the second floor. I live upstairs from you, yes, I think you've seen me before.
timeless of-context consequence
I'd like to meet you In a timeless placeless place Somewhere out of context And beyond all consequences.
eye waiting solitude
Solitude stands by the window She turns her head as I walk in the room I can see by her eyes she's been waiting Standing in the slant of the late afternoon
eye blue today
Today I am a small blue thing Like a marble or an eye
years shining gleam
Last year's troubles, They shine up so prettily, They gleam with a lustre they don't have today.
song smart writing
A lot of my writing is not terribly civilized. Sometimes I listen to songs by very smart writers who assume that the world is a civil place with certain formalities that people follow, but I don't see things that way. My own experience tells me that life is not like that. That's why I write the way I do.
girl crazy mean
Girls are crazy and mean. They don't fight fair.
world emotion responsible
My intellect has always been more responsible than my emotions for how I respond to the world.
writing form feels
I like to write about things that are extreme in some form. I like to write about something I feel I have to write about.
rushing silence liquid
If language were liquid, it would be rushing in. Instead here we are in a silence more eloquent than any word could ever be.
writing way direct
Writing is always personal in some way but not always in a direct way.
