I do not stand in the doorway and kiss my wife like I will never see               her again I do not say noose when I mean bullet I do not say bullet when I am asked what keeps me awake at night I do not keep track of the names I do not keep track of my own body I do not look at graves I do not look at televisions I do not look in the eyes of the interviewer when he asks how there can be so much violence in my poems I do not look honest enough to survive

I have maybe left my home for the last time

“In my life, having met people and fallen in love, it usually happens when you feel as if someone is seeing you in a way that no one else has seen you. And this is the scene where she’s seeing him, in a way. And the movie’s showing you him take in that knowledge.” –Bradley Cooper
