BORROWED WORDS





A few little jottings from my Journal of Kept Words:


Kelle Hampton, on a visit to relatives:

 . . . and slept five to a bed last night, with bodies of cousins overlapped like a nice lattice crust.

Chris, on a Senior Moment:
That’s what happens when your mind gets scattered.   (small
pause)   Scattered’s not so bad---it’s the covered and
smothered that gets you.

I’d tell you to go to Hell, but I work there, and I don’t
want to see you every day.   

A character in CROSS, by  James Patterson

Cary Tennis, on Blogging:
We are all pen pals.
We are all prisoners. We are all doing time. We are
all tapping on the walls late at night waiting for
answers from distant cells.

Happy Weekend!

  3. Wonderful! I just found one today in Roy Blount, Jr's new book Alpha Better Soup:
    “The sight of a fly on a beautiful deviled egg encapsulates so much of the human condition: goody cut with dammit.”
