At the poets’ panel,
after an hour of poets debating Ezra Pound,
Abe the Lincoln veteran,
remembering
the Spanish Civil War,
raised his hand and said:
If I knew that
a fascist
was a great poet,
I’d shoot him
anyway.-Martín Espada, from The Trouble Ball
I studied with Martín when I went to Florida for my writing residency. One of the best poets ive read :)

I sing too much for someone who can’t sing

So I just found this on my dash:
I like Thor. Loki… I’m not that keen. Bit neutral.
Please don’t tell Tom Hiddleston that. I have a feeling that if I say those words aloud then less than a minute later there will be the sound of a car hurriedly pulling up and a knock at my door.
I open the door and there stands a breathless Tom with a folder so filled with paper and photos and book pages they are spilling out on my porch and there’s a pack of slides and mini projector under his other arm.
“Just give me an hou-…No, two hours and I promise you I can make you understand.”
I feel like this is a new legend, like Bloody Mary.
Stand in an empty room and whisper “Loki isn’t that great” three times and a flustered Tom Hiddleston will appear with a lecture.

“i’d like to thank jeremy renner for remaining my knight in shining armor.”
“it was her emotional intelligence and commitment to truth that allowed for me to be a better actor and, as a friend, made me a better man.”
Why are they so perfect for each other?
