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.



Archy

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.



Archy

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.
