We're like a gardener with a hose and our attention is water - we can water flowers or we can water weeds.

Use the water of encouragement on someone else's flowers - especially the flowers that are wilted, trampled on, and taken for granted. But don't nourish the weeds.

When the young woman
leans over the sky,
about to water the flowers as well as the weeds,
her white front splits open
until her milk runs.

The reflexive allergy to L.A. that a lot of New Yorkers have, I feel like it's kind of nonsense.

Little deeds are like little seeds, they grow to flowers or to weeds.

I like movies that are about real people in real time with real problems.
