.... I am hopeless. It isn't my fault. It takes me
forever to find a way out.
2. I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

SHOULDERS

“A man crosses the street in rain,

This man carries the world's most sensitive cargo

“People seek retreats for themselves —
in the country, by the sea, in the hills —
and you yourself are particularly prone to this yearning.
But all this is quite on the surface,
when what is open to you, at any time you want,
is to retreat into yourself.

Now We Are Six
“When I was One,
I had just begun.
When I was Two,
I was nearly new.
When I was Three
I was hardly me.
When I was Four,
I was not much more.
When I was Five,

But now I am Six,
I'm as clever as clever,
So I think I'll be six now for ever and ever.”

Wind On The Hill
“No one can tell me,
Nobody knows,
Where the wind comes from,
Where the wind goes.
It's flying from somewhere
As fast as it can,
I couldn't keep up with it,
Not if I ran.
But if I stopped holding
The string of my kite,
It would blow with the wind
… “

Invictus

By William Ernest Henley

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
