More From Samuel Johnson

Why does a man cry? he wondered. not like a woman; not for that. not for sentiment. a man cries over the loss of something, something alive. a man can cry over a sick animal that he knows won't make it. the death of a child: a man can cry for that. but not because things are sad. a man, he thought, cries not for the future or the past but for the present.
Children Loss Animal
Sometimes when i'm alone i cry, cause i am on my own. the tears i cry are bitter and warm. they flow with life but take no form i cry because my heart is torn. i find it difficult to carry on. if i had an ear to confide in, i would cry among my treasured friend, but who do you know that stops that long, to help another carry on. the world moves fast and it would rather pass by. then to stop and see what makes one cry, so painful and sad. and sometimes... i cry and no one cares about why.
Moving Heart Long
When someone kisses someone or flushes the toilet it is my other who sits in a ball and cries. my other beats a tin drum in my heart. my other hangs up laundry as i try to sleep. my other cries and cries and cries when i put on a cocktail dress.
Sleep Heart Kissing
I was raised almost entirely on turnips and potatoes, but i think that the turnips had more to do with the effect than the potatoes.
