Those girls from around the way, They’re not perfect — . They’re from this town where people lie, Where businesses board up, A town of all these charities That will be dead next year, Some fat guy putting more $ in his trust fund — . They were meant not to have their thoughts furnished […]

So they killed some people and pumped the Ford Excursions. Let’s forgive ‘em, it didn’t happen to us. You lose a lot to time, you know. I want to live long enough to see a young man grow up. I have no idea how they do it either.

To move metaphysically Without the shell, And with love, Is my ultimate goal, . Sending my head Sweaty like a bison Into the hog-worn snow When I wrestle with the care of the world And pin it to the ground, It crumbles in my hands.

Carson was always going for it all. All that he could have, which wasn’t anything at all. At least to some.

It just dawned on me, And never before — I wonder what it’s like to be a woman. . It is being a living, breathing target, A catch-22 detailed in The Breakfast Club, Love mistaken for surrender, Every day. .
