today is...
 
today is velvet draperies and candles, patchouli incense and blood red wine.
 
today is Nina Simone singing "ne me quite pas... ne me quite pas..." and the sound of raindrops on the doorstep.
 
today is a pack of Dunhills and a silver Zippo.
 
today is remembering the days when you were never without a friend.
 
today is sex that hurts so, so good.
 
today is heavy-lidded and slow of limb.
 
today is fricot poulet in your grandmother's kitchen.
 
today is never being drunk enough, never stoned enough to lose yourself completely.
 
today is getting away with hurting yourself just a little.
 
today is the way your heart swells when you look in the eyes of your child.
 
today is eating the cookie, so you can feel right as rain.
 
today is longing for the next distraction.
 
today is being aware of your own subculture, and how you got there.
 
today is changing your opinion about just one person.
 
today is a paragraph of Aldous Huxley and a page of Anais Nin.

Quote of the day:
"'They will give you all the blood that you can take,'he said behind me. 'Place yourself in their hands.'"
