One of the oldest human needs is having someone to wonder where you are when you don’t come home at night.
Margaret Mead (via quotemadness)
No, one of the oldest human needs is having someone that you don’t have to wonder where they are when they don’t come home at night.

This isn’t pride, it’s self-preservation; there is a difference.

I denounce everyone
who ignores the other half,
the half that can’t be redeemed,
who lift their mountains of cement
where the hearts beat
inside forgotten little animals

Don’t worry, spiders,
I keep house
casually.
][][
Goes out,
comes back —
the loves of a cat.
][][
I’m going out,
flies, so relax,
make love.
][][
The Hungry Ghosts
Flowers scattering—
the water we thirst for
far off, in the mist
][][
No talent
and so no sin
a winter’s day
][][
This stupid world —
skinny mosquitoes, skinny fleas,
skinny children
][][
Last time, I think,
I’ll brush the flies
from my father’s face.
— Kobayashi “little cup of tea” Issa (from Robert
Hass’ The Essential Haiku, 1994)

give me the drag queens, dolled up and delicious
the two moms bickering over the dishes
the orphans, adopted, the chosen, the trannies
the witches, the protestors, tattooed laughing grannies
the boys wearing tutus and all the shirtless
daughters of the revolution playing basketball
on the broken courts of lost fathers
the failures, the forgotten, the throwdown, the freak show
the hurts and the heartbreaks, the hassles and headaches
the beggar, the baron, the shelter, the clambake
trade in the cynical, the stubborn, the splintering showdown
because it’s time to unite now, yes it’s time to ignite now
it’s time to pick up the phone to say, It’s me and I love you
