“ But he won’t let the pain blot out the humor no more’n he’ll let the humor blot out the pain. ”
They can't tell so much about you if you got your eyes closed.
~ Ken Kesey
It's the truth, even if it didn't happen......if they don't exist, how can a man see them?
I been silent so long now it’s gonna roar out of me like floodwaters and you think the guy telling this is ranting and raving my God; you think this is too horrible to have really happened, this is too awful to be the truth! But, please. It’s still hard for me to have a clear mind thinking on it. But it’s the truth even if it didn’t happen.
We'd just shared the last beer and slung the empty can out the window at a stop sign and were just waiting back to get the feel of the day, swimming in that kind of tasty drowsiness that comes over you after a day of going hard at something you enjoy doing -- half sunburned and half drunk and keeping awake only because you wanted to savor the taste as long as you could.
