Heroes:

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”

Drexel University...a lot of design...a lot of art...tiptoe... slush slush...married to Polish sunshine... mommy to the sweetest boy...trip trap trip trap...interior designers don't have fun...invoices...other people's worlds...She thinks, "Hey, how did I come to this?...I dream myself a thousand times around the world But I can't get out of this place"...mommy to the pink cloud girlie...maybe a catalogue will make her happy..."Quiet Times & Celebrations"..."I'll design stationery and baby angels...Pretty."... dark clouds...she rests her head...Isn't it strange how we move our lives for another day like skipping a beat...What if a great wave should wash us all away?...It's Dave and songs soaring...fresh air...old stories locked inside come spinning with red and blue and grey and rainbow..."Put my stars together and make a picture for Dave"...a puzzle...a wish...a rhyme...I can't believe that we would lie in our graves wondering if we had spent our living days well..."Let me be you and you be me...I'll use paint and paper and wax and transfer and beads"...I'll dream Rauschenberg and Pollack and Toulouse-Lautrec and Stella...the dreams inside her head were of music... she had found that which let her breathe...
