Wise words from a wise man...

[pinkus]

I live in the Twentieth Century
and you lie here beside me. You
were unhappy when you fell asleep.
There was nothing I could do about
it. I felt hopeless. Your face
is so beautiful that I cannot stop
to describe it, and there's nothing
I can do to make you happy while
you sleep.
-Richard Brautigan

i love this poem and it's poet.
it is amazing how deep and intense this poem is with few words. it does evoke deep-rooted, forgotten emotions.

Brautigan was a genius. His work is great. I don't know about that suicide though.
