Quoting Peter De Vries

________________________________________________________________________________________________

There are times when parenthood

seems nothing more than 

feeding the hand 

that bites you.

***

Before the mind snaps, or the heart breaks, 

it gathers itself like a clock about to strike. 

It might even be said one pulls

himself together to disintegrate.

***

The universe is like a safe to which 

there is a combination. 

But the combination 

is locked up 

in the safe.

***
 
"So death by leukemia is now
a local instead of an express.
Same run, only a few more stops.
But that’s medicine,
the art of prolonging disease."
