She's not me I'm so much better than her
She doesn't have my name I'm a haute mess - Madonna & Nervo
I am carried in my shadow
like a violin
in its black case.
- Tomas Transtomer
We can't be seen together. Our paths are separate.
You belong to the butcher, I am an alley cat.
You eat from a nickeled plate.
I eat from the lion's mouth.
You dream of love. I dream of bones.
But your path isn't easy either pal,
Not easy
To wag a tail every godforsaken day.
- Orhan Veli Kanik
Forgive, O Lord, my little jokes on Thee
And I'll forgive Thy great big one on me.
- Robert Frost
Say something to us we can learn
By heart and when alone repeat.
Say something! And it says, "I burn."
