I love how the blinds make the stripey effect, fun stuff!
And just because I recently read it, and I like it...
Dorothy Parker
I do not like my state of mind;
I'm bitter, querulous, unkind.
I hate my legs, I hate my hands,
I do not yearn for lovelier lands.
I dread the dawn's recurrent light;
I hate to go to bed at night.
I snoot at simple, earnest folk.
I cannot take the simplest joke.
I find no peace in paint or type.
My world is but a lot of tripe.
I'm disillusioned, empty-breasted.
For what I think, I'd be arrested.
I am not sick. I am not well.
My quondam dreams are shot to hell.
My soul is crushed, my spirit sore:
I do not like me any more.
I cavil, quarrel, grumble, grouse.
I ponder on the narrow house.
I shudder at the thought of men.
I'm due to fall in love again.

ReplyDeleteSigh. Dorothy Parker is a woman I could have loved. Maybe been her next-to-last husband, even.
ReplyDeleteDoug--wasn't he also her first husband?
ReplyDeleteAnyways, teacher, sometime it seems you can read my mind! How did you know she was one of my favorite authors and people?!!
It took me a moment to figure out what I was seeing. It's you and your piggies! :)
