“The trouble with fiction… is that it makes too much sense. Reality never makes sense.”
—Aldous Huxley. I love him.
“There was a smell of Time in the air tonight…What did Time smell like? Like dust and clocks and people. And if you wondered what Time sounded like, it sounded like water running in a dark cave and voices crying and dirt dropping down upon hollow box-lids, and rain.”
—Ray Bradbury, The Martian Chronicles
“Unable are the loved to die, for love is immortality.”
—Tattoo

Tin Heart
When you asked me
if I still had feelings for you,
I couldn’t answer.
It was only until much later
when I realized
that someone was reading
The Wizard of Oz
and it was at the moment where
the sweet tin man asks for a heart.
The Wizard reached behind the curtain
and grabbed mine.
So when you asked me,
I wanted to answer,
but my heart is now made
of hollow tin.
when I put my hand to my chest,
I can’t feel at all.
