- No idea how the day passed
- nor in which direction I can find the horizon
- in other words is there a sunset somewhere near here
- though every image conceals as much as it discloses
- where there is no question there is no answer
- for now never interests me except of course in an emergency
- or maybe now is a hole in my shoe or a hole in my pocket
- knowing what I need to know when I light a cigarette
- everything being contingent on something else
- the guy who knows what the plan is left on the early train
- giving us a reason to reason together as darkness falls
- a good night’s sleep taking shape up ahead for a book does need a bookmark
- or some other opportunity to activate memories of how it is
- for example beauty is permanent while everything else comes and goes
- what you mean by understand most likely different to what I mean
- indecision of suspended utterance you move in and years later you move out
- having learned to enjoy all the wrong numbers
- meaning you are not too attached to wanting what you want
- while of course saying the obvious in terms of therefore and however
- to infer from the particulars the necessity of the whole
- standing upright feet solid on the frame of the sky
- the sky beneath your feet giving the day answers void of questions
- above it all looking neither down nor up
- faith being no possession to help me understand what I already know
- somehow the message never gets through
- for I confuse myself with my personality
- knowing in advance that a word hides more than it reveals
- please say the obvious regarding the view from nowhere
