Dare come to my window and I’ll bring in the eternal note of sadness. (That’s Matthew Arnold for “screw you.”)

Mother

I spent a month of time well below what’s right, and by the end of it, my body was sick and white. Why is it that when I cry at night it’s your name I find?

Aimee Mann

Just don’t work your stuff
‘cause I’ve got troubles enough
please, don’t pick on me
when one act of kindness could be
deathly
