I MUST NOT ACT LIKE AN ANIMAL. i didn't act; i was. you trained me.

Jack Veasey, excerpt of “Note for the Teacher”, from Handful of Hair

[antigonick]

loving, in your language, means i tear chunks from you like some half-       starved bird; in my language, means i tear them from myself. we talk all night.

Jack Veasey, “Loving”, from Handful of Hair

We hear you there, you grounded ones still stumbling on each other, madly perching, searching one another’s eyes, looking for something you won’t find.

Jack Veasey, excerpt of “The Captain of the Bats”, in The Dance That Begins and Begins
