Sometimes it happens - Brian Patten
And sometimes it happens that you are friends and then You are not friends, And friendship has passed. And whole days are lost and among them A fountain empties itself. And sometimes it happens that you are loved and then You are not loved, And love is past. And whole days are lost and among them A fountain empties itself into the grass. And sometimes you want to speak to her and then You do not...

waldosia
dictionaryofobscuresorrows:
n. [Brit. wallesia] a condition characterized by scanning faces in a crowd looking for a specific person who would have no reason to be there, which is your brain’s way of checking to see whether they’re still in your life, subconsciously patting its emotional pockets before it leaves for the day.
I do this every morning when I take public transport to work. And...

Where Do You Find the Time? - Jessica Francis Kane
It’s occasionally been found in speeding taxis and Paris hotel rooms. Alpine meadows and mourning doves are rich in it, though can be hard to find. Forget about fountains and rainbows, they’re myths. Rarely it falls from geese flying north. Sometimes sunlight on water contains trace amounts. Check in the attic and under the peonies, but it moves fast and is hard to catch. Now and then...

Dream Song 14
Life, friends, is boring. We must not say so. After all, the sky flashes, the great sea yearns, we ourselves flash and yearn, and moreover my mother told me as a boy (repeatingly) “Ever to confess you’re bored means you have no Inner Resources.” I conclude now I have no inner resources, because I am heavy bored. Peoples bore me, literature bores me, especially great...

I have not felt this tired-calm for way too long....
Traipsing around Chinatown/Bugis/little tucked away corners of Singapore nobody bothers about with Hanqing, wandering around poky little shops and buying dubious drapery tops with my mum, visiting gramps.
Wondered about the obligations we have to other people. If I didn’t have any, I would be so free but utterly depressed. Besides yourself and your family (~obviously), who would you want to...
