Going to Kentucky, going to the fair...

Going to Kentucky, going to the fair 

To see the senorita with flowers in her hair

Shake it, shake it, shake it

Shake it if you can

Shake it like a milkshake 

And do the best you can

Rumble to the bottom

Rumble to the top

Turn around and turn around

My friend Roy takes great photos. This is one of them.

Love Sonnet XVII by Pablo Neruda

I do not love you as if you were a salt rose, or topaz

or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.

I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,

in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms

but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;

thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,

risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.

I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;

So I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,

so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,

so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

Remember men, we're fighting for this woman's honor, 

which is probably more than she ever did. 

- Groucho Marx in Duck Soup

Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. 

Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.

Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.

I heard of a man
who says words so beautifully
that if he only speaks their name
women give themselves to him. 


If I am dumb beside your body
while silence blossoms like tumors on our lips.
it is because I hear a man climb stairs and clear his throat outside the door.
