CCLXII.: NUCLEAR ENDGAME THEORY
Here is a map of a lifetime, here is a childhood: “If you can’t be the best at something, it’s not worth doing at all”—this is a motto they gave to a little girl, in the place of a doll or a guitar or a home.

"Saying Your Names," by Richard Siken
“Chemical names, bird names, names of fire and flight and snow, baby names, paint names, delicate names like bones in the body, Rumplestiltskin names that are always changing, names that no one’s ever able to figure out. Names of spells and names of hexes, names cursed quietly under the breath, or called out loudly to fill the yard, calling you inside again, calling you home. Nicknames...

CCLX. part two
(part one)
On the other hand—on the other hand, here, what if words are never enough? What if the universe keeps getting more lonely, and the boy at the newsstand on Fifth will never have to chance to tell anybody how they looked in the orange-white light, whisper secrets about love and beauty and sadness into their ear, peel off a Sunday morning in the haze of unsubstantiated fog; what if...

CCLX.
In the same way a photograph is equal to a thousand words, it would follow that a single word can also be a thousand images—ten thousand, even; a million, an impossibly large amount of sights and meanings and people. For example, what is BLUE? How do you define BLUE? And I’d say: it’s a pen, an ocean, most of an iris, a satin bow, a grave-side bouquet, a January, a July, a painting, a vein,...
