your own light

Impossible; for how many people did you know who refracted your own light to you? 
-Ray Bradbury

chances

Taking one’s chances is like taking a bath, because sometimes you end up feeling comfortable and warm, and sometimes there is something terrible lurking around that you cannot see until it is too late and you can do nothing else but scream and cling to a plastic duck. 
- Lemony Snicket

otherwise

the room he brings into you
the room befalls you

like the fir trees he trues her
she nears him like the firs

if one vanishes one stays
if one stays the other will or will not vanish

otherwise my beautiful green fly
otherwise not a leaf stirs
- C.D. Wright, from Floating Trees, one of my (many) favorite poems
