About Me


style is the answer to everything
fresh way to approach a dull or dangerous day
to do a dull thing with style is preferable to doing a dangerous thing without style
to do a dangerous thing with style, is what I call art
bullfighting can be an art
boxing can be an art
loving can be an art
opening a can of sardines can be an art
not many have style
not many can keep style
I have seen dogs with more style than men although not many dogs have style
cats have it with abundance
when Hemingway put his brains to the wall with a shotgun, that was style
for sometimes people give you style
Joan of Arc had style
John the Baptist
Jesus
Socrates
Caesar
Garcia Lorca
I have met men in jail with style
I have met more men in jail with style than men out of jail
style is a difference, a way of doing, a way of being done
six herons standing quietly in a pool of water, or you, walking
out of the bathroom without seeing me
