Je suis un petit ananas. Mon copain est une meduse.

About Me

Oh not because happiness exists,/ that too-hasty profit snatched from approaching loss,/ Not out of curiosity, not as practice for the heart,which/ would exist in the laurel too.... / But because truly being here is so much; because everything here/ apparently needs us, this fleeting world, which is in some strange way/ keeps calling to us. Us, the most fleeting of all./ Once for each thing. Just once; no more. And we too,/ just once. And never again. But to have been/ this once, completely, even if only once:/ to have been at one with the earth, seems beyond undoing.
