things that go really fast

After dinner or lunch or whatever it was — with my crazy 12-hour night I was no longer sure what was what — I said, “Look, baby, I’m sorry, but don’t you realize that this job is driving me crazy? Look, let’s give it up. Let’s just lay around and make love and take walks and talk a little. Let’s go to the zoo. Let’s look at animals. Let’s drive down and look at the ocean. It’s only 45 minutes. Let’s play games in the arcades. Let’s go to the races, the Art Museum, the boxing matches. Let’s have friends. Let’s laugh. This kind of life like everybody else’s kind of life: it’s killing us. Charles Bukowski, Post Office (via samimagine)

the clock that ticks inside your head is truly Time
and in the night will bury you.
the children warm in bed at dawn will leave
and take your heart and go to worlds you do not know
We Have Our Arts So We Don’t Die of Truth, by Ray Bradbury
