So many names for breaking into this life at angles unplanned & unknowable. It’s true. There is much to be praised in this house of lightning & dust, this sloppy armor we yearn to move more beautifully in.

Joshua Bennett, from “On Flesh,” The Sobbing School

Let us again pretend that life is a solid substance, shaped like a globe, which we turn about in our fingers. Let us pretend that we can make out a plain and logical story, so that when one matter is despatched—love for instance—we go on, in an orderly manner, to the next.
