To be worn down - there is only but one direction. Up.

Can I take this peace with me?

Why drink alone when you can travel with bitter memories?

The only need is attention. Even the ones that retreat to the ends of the earth know that in the end, people will talk about the hermit. The woman at the end of the bar waits for someone to buy her a drink. The boy knocks his own bike over so that mommy will check his wounds. The girl deflowers herself. The young man tells his locker-room friends. The man buys a Porsche. To cut off a nation? Dont starve them. Dont embargo trade. Dont nuke them.

Ignore them.

If I decided never to leave, what would happen? Would my possessions rot? Would anybody see that I wasnt there? Would I nap through rainstorms in my hammock? What would happen to my bank account? Would I ever fall in love? Could anybody ever love me? What would happen to the word "motivation"? Would I be laughed at? Scoffed at? Envied? Would I get fat? Skinny? Would I get skin cancer at a young age? Would I forget that I am passed the point of "at a young age"? Would time reverse? Would chivalry return? Would the world change behind my back? Would I care? Would I throw away my computer? Or just use it as a door stop? Or paper weight? Would I get eaten by a fish? Would I become addicted to sushi? Could I afford sushi? Would I change the world? Would I ever shave? Would I still make art? Could I live the life of love that I have always wanted, but found the world to ruin that utopia? Would I ever forget her? Or her? Or her? Could I sleep without dreams of that mistake? Could I figure out exactly what "by-gones be by-gones" means? Or would I turn that old grude into more pain, more art? Would I learn to spear fish? Would I ever learn the language? Would I ever send the keychains? Would I ever learn to love well if I left things behind unresolved?

Art comes from the tortured soul. Otherwise, its just another crayoned flower.
