Lunch at Mickey's

to M.

My eyes, distant
Your hands, touching
My hands, cold
Your eyes, searching
Finding nothing.

Your eyes, down
My hands, pocketed
Your hands, flat
My eyes, searching
Finding you.

My hands, clasp
Your hand, warm
Your eyes, raise
Our eyes, searching
Finding each other.

Here,

everything.

Hear Everything

A child believes everything he hears, a fool hears everything he believes and a wise man hears everything.

11 Aphorisms: Liberty, Love, Life, Death, Drugs and Courage.

by Brandon Toner
  • The modern person is confronted with two options: consume dangerous drugs or consume dangerous ideas. The former threatens to destroy their bodies, the later the very society which necessitates the former.
  • Mercy is the most noble act, vengeance the next. Punishment and forgiveness are for those in chains.
  • True liberty is the power to be merciful toward those who cause you injury.
  • Never fear to think, it is a confrontation with your self. If you cannot confront your self then you will not be able confront others.
  • Dangerous ideas are much more exciting and deadly then dangerous drugs.
  • The bored are the breathing dead.
  • Love can be the most charming of tyrants.
  • Euphoria can be bought, courage cannot.
  • 'Life or death' is a false dichotomy.
  • Materialism is valuing what you do not have and not valuing what you do have.
  • Aphorisms are widely read but often narrowly understood.
