after we kick ...


can we read books

can we listen to music

can we walk down a street

can we kiss


can we learn


can we swim in the ocean


can we dance


can we eat


can we sleep


can we take photographs


can we paint


can we go to the movies


can we smoke


can we run


can we laugh


can we be surprised


can we remember

Like the lively air.  I am reading Women in Love and I missed the movie on TCM round midnight a night or two ago.   The writing knocks me out.   In the back yards of several dwellings a miner could be seen washing himself in the open on this hot evening, naked down to the loins. His great trousers of moleskin slipping almost away. Miners already cleaned were sitting on their heels, with their back near the walls, talking and silent in pure physical well-being, tired and taking rest. Their voices sounded out with strong intonation and the broad dialect was curious...
