More From Henry Rollins

I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. they don't teach you how to love somebody. they don't teach you how to be famous. they don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. they don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. they don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. they don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. they don't teach you anything worth knowing.
Love School Optimistic
When the sun shouts and people abound one thinks there were the ages of stone and the age of bronze and the iron age; iron the unstable metal; steel made of iron, unstable as his mother; the tow-ered-up cities will be stains of rust on mounds of plaster. roots will not pierce the heaps for a time, kind rains will cure them, then nothing will remain of the iron age and all these people but a thigh-bone or so, a poem stuck in the world's thought, splinters of glass in the rubbish dumps, a concrete dam far off in the mountain.

In romantic comedies there's a certain ceiling and a floor that you can't necessarily love as hard, or hate as hard, or have as much pain, because you sink the shop of the romantic comedy. but in a certain drama, like some of the ones i've been doing, the ceiling and the floor was my own. and in many ways, that was a higher ceiling and a lower floor, so that was more of a band-with for those emotions.
Pain Drama Hate
Out of my deeper heart a bird rose and flew skywards. higher and higher did it rise, yet larger and larger did it grow. at first it was but like a swallow, then a lark, then an eagle, then as vast as a spring cloud, and then it filled the starry heavens. out of my heart a bird flew skywards. and it waxed larger as it flew. yet it left not my heart.
Spring Heart Eagles
High high in the hills , high in a pine tree bed. she's tracing the wind with that old hand, counting the clouds with that old chant, three geese in a flock one flew east one flew west one flew over the cuckoo's nest

If you think of music as a language, the space part is where you throw out all the syntax.
Thinking Space Syntax
I feel all agitated, like one of those snow globes you see resting peacefully on shop counters. i was perfectly happy being an ordinary, dull little swiss village. but now jack harper’s come and shaken me up, and there are snowflakes all over the place, whirling around until i don’t know what i think anymore. and bits of glitter, too. tiny bits of shiny, secret excitement.
