"I can't remember the last time I read a book so brave- maybe never." Ani DiFranco about Skid Dogs by Emelia Symington-Fedy - Ani DiFranco

They can call me crazy if I fail, all the chance that I need, is one-in-a-million and they can call me brilliant if I succeed.

I don't like my language watered down, I don't like my edges rounded off.

i could step off the end of this pier but i got
shit to do and an appointment on tuesday
to shed uninvited blood and tissue
i'll miss you, i say
to the river to the water
to the son or daughter
i thought better of

i could fall in love with jersey
at sunset
but i leave the view to the rats
and tiptoe back
