From it’s heights, the lizard on the wall,
Like a super hero, leaps and fall,
I jump on the chair, stand, stunned,
And watch it move..slither and run.

He seduced me with a pure voice, spoke kind words, and stroked my hair to lower my guard, to make me trust him, to trick me!
Mizuki Nomura, Book Girl and the Corrupted Angel

They asked a bullfrog, They asked a bullfrog, “Why do you croak all the time?” He replied, “I’m enchanted with my voice.”

I must get my soul back from you; I am killing my flesh without it.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath
Punters know the horse named Morality rarely gets past the post, whereas the nag Self-Interest always runs a good race. “
“Nobody’s going to save you. No one’s going to cut you down, cut the thorns thick around you. No one’s going to storm the castle walls nor kiss awake your birth, climb down your hair, nor mount you onto the white steed. There is no one who will feed the yearning. Face it. You will have to do, do it yourself.”
― Gloria E. Anzaldúa
