Hi dad, this is Jessamine
I just wanted to tell you that I passed
and I got a 98, so that's good!
The only thing I did wrong
is that after I was backing on a corner
and he told me to re-enter traffic
I, like, put on my blinker and started to go
but I hadn't put it back into forward drive
that was the only thing
So yeah, bye!

You don't feel any different
Yet everything has changed
You're a ghost in your own city
You're trapped in your own maze
It's the changing of the seasons
It's the impression that you make
It's the things that go unnoticed
In the pace and passing of the days
It's the cold of winter mornings
It's the sunlight on your face
It's the dreams that keep on coming
As you try to stay awake
It's the traffic on your journey
It's the mindgames that you play
It's the thoughts that keep you going
As your reflection fades away
It's the changing of the seasons
It's the impression that you make
It's the things that go unnoticed
In the pace and passing of the days

La Indiferencia Tienta

Corazón es no ver
solo comer
dejar la lluvia caer
soltar el estrés
pájaros cantan
ambulancias pasan
emociones arrasan
estando lejos de casa
planeo recordarlo todo
durante el tiempo que me quede
antes de fosilizarme en el lodo
dejando que el final vuele
Contempla
que la indiferencia tienta

Are we alone
In this dark place?
Love or chance
Endless space
Are we stars?
That’s what some say
Ghosts of light
Burned away
One small spark
In the darkest night
Expanding void
By years of light
One small voice
In a silent black
Scream and shout
But it won’t talk back
Are we alone?
I can agree
Words echo back
Is it just me?

The Great Confusion

I think people will always go on using the narrative form
because it’s the most extraordinary form
You can do anything you like with it
There are no rules, except to do it well
And I think people will continuingly adapt the narrative form
to the problems which confront them at the given moment of history
I was reading just the other day
As I was traveling through Sicily
Reading Trollope’s ‘Framley Parsonage’
And thinking how wonderful it was for novelists in those happy days
To have a completely rigid framework
Everybody knew exactly where they stood
And it was possible to make your comments from an accepted ground
That seems to have quite gone today
The menaces to individual liberty
Which seem to me to be in existence in the world today
I think there are very great threats
Which, although they may not be acute, particularly in the democratic countries
Are potentially very grave indeed
Some of them were foreseen
And I think some of them, I didn’t have sufficient imagination to foresee
But I think there is a whole armory
At the disposal of potential dictators at the moment
Which is very alarming
In drugs and in surgery and in various types of mental manipulation
There’s a great deal which can be done
And which I’m afraid, unless we’re extremely vigilant, may be done
I projected these things 500 or 600 years into the future
And it is rather alarming to find that only 27 years later
Quite a number of these forecasts have already come true
And come true with a vengeance
There is a great confusion, so to speak,
In who we are and what we are
Which requires quite a different way of treatment
from what it did in the past
For example, I happen to like very much the desert
Which is something which grows upon one
As one gets to know it well
The desert of course has this extraordinary quality of silence
Which is quite unlike anything that I know about
And of course this immense clarity and the expanse of the sky
Is something very extraordinary
