I have often wished I had time to cultivate modesty…But I am too busy thinking about myself.
My personal hobbies are reading, listening to music, and silence.
I wish the government would put a tax on pianos for the incompetent.
Your soul: pure glucose edged with hintsOf tentative and half-soiled tints
