I thought marcus was going to be in my life forever. then i thought i was wrong. now he’s back. but this time i know what’s certain: marcus will be gone again, and back again and again and again because nothing is permanent. especially people. strangers become friends. friends become lovers. lovers become strangers. strangers become friends once more, and over and over. tomorrow, next week, fifty years from now, i know i’ll get another one-word postcard from marcus, because this one doesn’t have a period signifying the end of the sentence. or the end of anything at all.

It's kind of like sentencing. a lot of people say that we have a heavy sentence for this crime and a light sentence for another crime, and what we ought to do is reduce the heavy sentence so it's more in line with the other. wrong. in most cases we ought to increase the light sentence and make it compatible with the heavy sentence, and be serious about punishment because we are becoming too tolerant as a society, folks, especially of crime, in too many parts of the country.

I turn sentences around. that's my life. i write a sentence and then i turn it around. then i look at it and i turn it around again. then i have lunch. then i come back in and write another sentence. then i have tea and turn the new sentence around. then i read the two sentences over and turn them both around. then i lie down on my sofa and think. then i get up and throw them out and start from the beginning.

If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent if the unheard, unspoken word is unspoken, unheard; still is the spoken word, the word unheard, the word without a word, the word within the world and for the world; and the light shone in the darkness and against the word the unstilled world still whirled about the center of the silent word. oh my people, what have i done unto thee. where shall the word be found, where shall the word resound? not here, there is not enough silence

Most people write the same sentence over and over again. the same number of words-say, 8-10, or 10-12. the same sentence structure. try to become stretchy-if you generally write 8 words, throw a 20 word sentence in there, and a few three-word shorties. if you're generally a 20 word writer, make sure you throw in some threes, fivers and sevens, just to keep the reader from going crosseyed.

Melodies can be good depending on the context. you can have a simple melody, and if the harmony behind it is interesting, it can make a very simple melody really different. you can also have a complex melody. the more complex it is, the harder it is to sing, and then sometimes it can sound contrived. you could write a melody that would be fine on a saxophone but if you give it to a singer, it can sound raunchy.
