"I'm glad that the rock is heavy
and that it feels all right in my heart
like an eye in a pot of humus.
Let's write long letters on grand themes,
fish sandwiches, egg sandwiches, and cheese;
or traveling in Mexico, Italy and Australia.
I eat a lot so I won't get drunk and then
I drink a lot so I'll feel excited
and then I've gone away and I don't know where
or with whom and can't remember whom from
except that I'm back with my paper bag
and next time my face won't come with me."
Love, Michelle
PS- That picture is of Patti Smith and Lenny Kaye and I found it here.
