かくれんぼ
曇った空の浅い夕暮れ
雲を浮かべて烟草をふかす風はすっかり
凪いでしまった私は熱いお茶を飲んでる
「きみが欲しい」なんて言ってみて
うらでそおっと滑り落とす
吐息のような嘘が一片
私は熱いお茶を飲んでる
雪融けなんぞはなかったのです
歪にゆがんだ珈琲茶碗に余った
瞬間が悸いている
私は熱いお茶を飲んでる
もう何も喋らないで
そう黙ってくれればいいんだ
君の言葉が聞こえないから
雪景色は外なのです
なかでふたりは隠れん坊
絵に描いたような顔が笑う
私は熱いお茶を飲んでる

“But out at the horizon, out near the burnished edge of the world, who are these visitors standing … these robed figures — perhaps, at this distance, hundreds of miles tall — their faces, serene, unattached, like the Buddha’s, bending over the sea, impassive, indeed, as the Angel that stood over Lübeck during the Palm Sunday raid, come that day neither to destroy nor to protect, but to bear witness to a game of seduction … What have the watchmen of the world’s edge come tonight to look for? Deepening on now, monumental beings stoical, on toward slag, toward ash the colour the night will stabilize at, tonight … what is there grandiose enough to witness?”

“How about this? I’m just thinking out loud here, but hear me out. In realty there was this practice called redlining that prevented black people from owning. Now that was obviously bad, but if applied on hipsters, I think I could be an effective tool.”

“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplacable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not quite, the not yet, and the not at all, do not let the hero in your soul perish and leave only frustration for the life you deserved, but never have been able to reach. The world you desire can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.”
—Ayn Rand - Atlas Shrugged
“It is not advisable, James, to venture unsolicited opinions. You should spare yourself the embarrassing discovery of their exact value to your listener.”
—Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged.
