Quote for the Day

Lets see how this one goes over:

"A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that
faith does not prove anything."
-Nietzsche

Quote for the Day

I saw this at the writing center at Belmont:

"I don't know which is more discouraging, literature or chickens."

EB White

For Chris!

I am a Woman.
I am an American.
It's better than Stealing.
(A Poem in Defense of Shopping).

Is desire a crime?
If so, you are complicit in mine.
It was you taught me how to want,
taught me to want things.

A love of things, instead of
intangibles.

Am I a cliche, an empty vessel,
just a woman who needs to be filled?
Am I vacuous?

Hmph. I think not.
It's woman, after all, who populates this earth. Fills it up.

My defense then?

Yes, it is better than stealing.
(Unless you don't get caught).
