You fit into me
like a hook into an eye.
A fish hook
an open eye.
- Margaret Atwood
Solitary Observation Brought Back
From A Sojourn In Hell
At midnight tears
run into your ears.
- Louise Bogan
Résumé
Razors pain you; rivers are damp;
acids stain you; and drugs cause cramp;
Guns aren't lawful; nooses give;
Gas smells awful; you might as well live.
- Dorothy Parker
Upon Entering
I shall die in my boots.
Kick open the saloon doors
of heaven or hell,
lasso the darkest hombre
and shoot any hat in the house
who doesn't buy me a drink.
- Kim Konopka
A Man Said to the Universe
A man said to the universe,
"Sir, I exist!"
"However," replied the universe
"the fact has not created in me
a sense of obligation."
- Stephen Crane
