Je ne suis pas avec toi

"Moons and Junes and ferris wheels, the dizzy dancing way that you feel as every fairy tale comes true, I've looked at love that way. But now it's just another show. And you leave 'em laughing when you go. And if you care, don't let them know. Don't give yourself away. I've looked at love from both sides now -- from give and take -- and still somehow, it's love's illusions that I recall. I really don't know love. I really don't know love at all."

- Joni Mitchell, Both Sides Now

"They seldom looked happy. They passed one another without a word in the elevator, like silent shades in hell, hell-bent on their next look from a handsome stranger. Their next rush from a popper. The next song that turned their bones to jelly and left them all on the dance floor with heads back, eyes nearly closed, in the ecstasy of saints receiving the stigmata."

- Andrew Holleran, Dancer From the Dance

"Let us go get the shit kicked out of us by love. "

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times ... You are not gonna fool me three times.

"The wing and the wheel... they carry things away. Whether it's me that does the leavin' or the love that flies away. The moon outside my window looks so lonely tonight. Oh, there's a chunk out of it's middle... big enough for an old fool to hide."

- Nancy Griffiths, The Wing and the Wheel

You were my orange plastic boy:

delightfully orange, regrettably plastic, almost a man.

Goodbye.
