About
"We are the works of art we never had the time to create"-John J. Clayton"A Notion of character, not so much discredited as simply forgotten, once held that people came into themselves partway through their lives. They woke up, were doing something they already knew how to do: feeding themselves with currants. Walking the Dog. Tying up a broken bootlace. Singing antiphonally in the choir. Suddenly; This is I, I am the girl singing this alto line off-key, I am the boy loping after the dog, and I can see myself doing it as, presumably, the dog cannot see itself. How peculiar! I lift on my toes and dive into the lake because I am hot, and while isolated like a specimen in the glassy slide of summer, the notions of hot and lake and I converge into a conciousness of consciousness--in an instant, in between launch and landing, even before I cannonball into the lake, exploding both my reflection and my old notion of myself.
That was what was once believed. Now, it seems hardly to matter when and how we become ourselves--or even what we become. Theory chases theory about how we are composed. The only constant: the abjuration of personal responsibility.
We are the next thing the Time Dragon is dreaming, and nothing to be done about it."
-Gregory Maguire, Son of a Witch, 2006
i'll be your biggest fan
i will be your fool
i'll be your exception
to whatever the rule
and i ain't the type to b***h
i ain't the type to cry
i'll sit at your red light and wait
for your s**t to go by
and this vague little smile
is my all-purpose expression
the meaning of which
i will leave to your discretion
my distraction's my defense
against a lack of inspiration
against a slow leak deflation
the further the horizon
the more it holds my gaze
and the foreground's out of focus
but you know i kinda hope it's
just a phase
i've been through and through this
i know just how it goes
you'll have no idea
you'll have no need to know
cuz i will make your body
grow wings and take flight
i will erase sound
i will erase light
and this vague little smile
is my all-purpose expression
the meaning of which
i'll leave to your discretion
my distraction's my defense
against a lack of inspiration
against a slow leak deflation
the further the horizon
the more it holds my gaze
and the foreground's out of focus
but you know i kinda hope it's
just a phase
-Ani DiFranco, Phase
