A woman of uneasy virtue
taking her chances when she can
sits on the edge of the bed
explaining her scars to another stupid man
who will never understand
–Syd Straw

I reach a point periodically when it’s just too difficult to stay open emotionally. it’s like the cat sitting at the slider looking like it wants in but you stand there and it just looks at you. then you shut the door and it claws at the screen… open the door again and it just looks at you. god. fine, just stay out. and I should want another cat?

Liz Greene is clearly brilliant. she is also crisply hilarious:

“As we are dealing with the theme of Mars today we can be a good deal more aggressive. Howard and I were talking yesterday evening about the exercizes in guided imagery for Venus which he has been giving you and we were trying to think of something suitable which might help to crystalize the meaning of Mars. We decided that you could close your eyes, get an image of your Mars sign, and then punch the person sitting next to you.”

feel free to participate.
