Just as there is nothing between the admirable omelet and the intolerable, so with autobiography.

There is a bright spot or two for the Spaniards. French toast has become freedom toast on the Air Force One breakfast menu, but the Spanish omelet is still a Spanish omelet.

There is no such thing as a pretty good omelet.
You can't make an omelet without breaking eggs.
You cannot make an omelet without breaking eggs.
Rashers of bacon—
sun has made an omelet
Autumnal breakfast

T2
the green tiles of the garage
reinvent this old house
it is more livable now
the hammock newly washed
the shoes newly brushed and
the table newly painted
this house has reinvented itself
into something more admirable
decent, confident, renewed,
this could be a start
as you must begin to recreate
what you once was too
do not be just yourself
go beyond what is admirable
reinvent your mind
dye your hair, polish your nails
scent your soap and
wash your hands.

Death and survival, and theories....
Those who struggle so hard
in order to live for a number of years more
are admirable
They fight their wars
and Just don't surrender that easily,
Those who want to end their lives
Finding it absurd
Those who hit their heads hard against the wall
and Bleed and die
Upon their own will
I say,
They too are admirable
They have guts.
Death is a state, but the door towards it
is painful. Those who embrace pain, contrary to norms,
must deserve our honor.
Theirs is that dignity to end their lives
at will.
Life is precious they say. It is a gift.
But life has no meaning sometimes.
One simply gets short of more reasons in order to continue the journey of sorrow and grief
and occasional joys of living.
One kicks hard against the storms.
The other stretches his hands to touch the sky.
Others let them be.
Those who are afraid, and non committal,
simply leave their lives in the hands of God.
They too have their own reasons,
They rest their destinies to Fate
or Faith,
And they too, must be admirable
or honorable.
I am this spectator still trying to fathom
the truth about this right or wrong.

The Belief Of The Wick
Detached, unstipulated, under stimulated
With prejudice, I demand to be filled
Alas, without
Lust!
Lust, a prenatal configuration
Of two intolerable humans
Alas, without
Heed!
Heed not onto this wild act
Of one intolerable weakling
I would break like the thinnest of glass
While I re-puncture my wounds
Perhaps with that very glass shard
Broken
Old becoming new, never healing
My scabs flickering away
Like the belief of the wick

I know that you're better off making your own products, not just waiting for someone to hand you something. If you are handed something, it's a blessing and a curse. Look at hip hop artists, they produced everything themselves. Again, it's art vs. marketing. Not everyone can take the risk. You have to break a few eggs to make a good omelet.

So in our pride we ordered for breakfast an omelet, toast and coffee and what has just arrived is a tomato salad with onions, a dish of pickles, a big slice of watermelon and two bottles of cream soda.

Retrospective of an Honest Man - after Clark Stillman
RETROSPECTIVE OF AN HONEST MAN
By night: fight, flight
quite out of sight.
By day: mayday
in way on site,
blight; bite, spite, slight.
Payday: heyday
way O.K. … right?
Tight, slight respite.
