You'll learn 
who you are
even if it hurts.



Archy

I'm always denying that I have a sad life
because in my fantasies I have a happy life
and after a while 
you start believing your fantasies.

I was born on a Tuesday
It was a Tuesday full of hope
and celebration
It was a Tuesday full of joyful smiling
and radiant laughter
people took pictures
and cried
and hugged one another.

In a couple of days it will be Tuesday again
But no one is smiling
and no one is laughing
and the photographs have all faded away.

I was sitting 
at the bar
waiting for my soul



Archy.

I once 
lived in 
a slow
hell.




Archy

Be with the one
you love
But if you can't
then write poetry.



Archy

I won't go near
even the town
she lives in
that woman hates me 
like evil black death
of the soul.

The weeping willow tree left
a forwarding address
which was the post office.
We found that the tree had
relocated to Mobile, Alabama.



Archy

I've seen
roaches run faster
than you'd think.



Archy

No one belongs 
here more
than you.



Archy

I feel sorry for the moon
at the end of the day
he's got nothing else 
to do but 
follow us around
