Something May Happen

            There is no new experience in life. Something may happen to you that you think has never happened before, that you think is brand new, but you are mistaken. You have only to see or smell or hear or feel a certain something and you will discover that this experience that you thought was new has happened before.

Horace McCoy
They Shoot Horses Don't they ?
1935

Past Saturday Night

I want a Sunday kind of love

A love to last past Saturday night

And I'd like to know

It's more than love at first sight

And I want a Sunday kind of love

Oh yeah, yeah

A Man You Don't Recognize

          Age is a peculiar kind of thief. It slips up on you and steps inside your skin and is so quiet and methodical in it's work that you never realise it has stolen your youth until you look in the mirror one morning and see a man you don't recognise.

Make Terms ........

               .......... Everything's bad Michael, everything. You can't escape it or fight it. You've got to get along with it. Deal with it, make terms.

Fast One

       There was a soft click of ball against ball and then sharper click as the black ball dropped into the pocket that Coleman had called.

Ask Them All

If I die in New York City

Bury me on the Battery

Ask them all to weep for me

Bury Me on the Battery
