so how do you live life, and love life if you’re straight, white, and dislike art, and intelligence… sounds boring?

“

Gate C22
At gate C22 in the Portland airport
a man in a broad-band leather hat kissed
a woman arriving from Orange County.
They kissed and kissed and kissed. Long after
the other passengers clicked the handles of their carry-ons
and wheeled briskly toward short-term parking,
the couple stood there, arms wrapped around each other
like he’d just staggered off the boat at Ellis Island,
like she’d been released at last from ICU, snapped
out of a coma, survived bone cancer, made it down
from Annapurna in only the clothes she was wearing.

Neither of them was young. His beard was gray.
She carried a few extra pounds you could imagine
her saying she had to lose. But they kissed lavish
kisses like the ocean in the early morning,
the way it gathers and swells, sucking
each rock under, swallowing it
again and again. We were all watching—
passengers waiting for the delayed flight
to San Jose, the stewardesses, the pilots,
the aproned woman icing Cinnabons, the man selling
sunglasses. We couldn’t look away. We could
taste the kisses crushed in our mouths.

But the best part was his face. When he drew back
and looked at her, his smile soft with wonder, almost
as though he were a mother still open from giving birth,
as your mother must have looked at you, no matter
what happened after—if she beat you or left you or
you’re lonely now—you once lay there, the vernix
not yet wiped off, and someone gazed at you
as if you were the first sunrise seen from the Earth.
The whole wing of the airport hushed,
all of us trying to slip into that woman’s middle-aged body,
her plaid Bermuda shorts, sleeveless blouse, glasses,
little gold hoop earrings, tilting our heads up.

griptape:

The Avett Brothers make me lose 99% of my vocabulary, and I’m left with words such as “AWESOME”, “RAINBOWS”, “ICE CREAM, PUPPIES, AVETTS AND SUNSHINE”. It’s not only that their music is good, they really shred it on stage, they don’t take themselves too seriously and they have impressive beards. And they’re good looking. Oh, yes, you saw it coming. Scott Avett gets the place on the list because of his amazing facial hair and undeniable charm.

i absolutely agree 100%

Oh, well I knew you shook the set-up baby, of all the leaves up in the ground
And I know our song is over and heavy as I see dry leaves fallin’ down, oh
With all this fever in my mind, I could drown in your kerosene eyes
Oh, you’re just a riddle in the sky
Oh, where do my bluebirds fly?

~Where do my bluebirds fly?

Marilyn Monroe - I Wanna Be Loved By You

oldhollywood:

I wanna be loved by you, just you,
And nobody else but you,
I wanna be loved by you, alone!
Boop-boop-a-doop!

honestly the embarrassing thing about this song is,

i have an impersonation, and dance that i do quite well actually.

the quite well is a joke, but its all fun.

silence with a white earth in it

out into the morning the young
morning with a warm world in it

sunlight with a firm day in it

you will go(kiss me

a memory and memory
