You can lead a horse
to water, but you can put
lipstick on a pig.

Being what is is
what what is is is being
being being what.

The gods are angry:
coffee so altered and burnt
stinks to high heaven.

Sex is recreation
That has many meanings
That's very human

Stir, wake, sigh, listen:
Street sounds, bird songs, neighbor steps.
Listen, breathe, stir, rise.

Night minds make mischief,
move reason's furniture, and
hide absurd candies.

Job, you have it bad,
but what were you expecting?
You're only human.

There's no accounting
for money doesn't grow on
a bird in the hand.

Life is like a box
You can't fit a square peg in
One good turn deserves.

The early bird gets
There's no use crying over
Beer before liquor.

You can't have your cake.
Don't put all your eggs in one
If you can't beat 'em.

Surprise grabs life as
wet snow grabs thin boughs in an
early spring blizzard.

I get a lot done
avoiding things I should do.
Is that productive?

It makes sense to act
like nothing has happened when
nothing has happened.

See them walk so tall—
They walk with ease and purpose,
Walking through the world.

Infinite breadth is
known and encompassed by a
firm rule and fine point.

The devil is in,
The road to hell is paved, but
a stitch in time saves.

Long up top, clipped sides,
I had that haircut. It was
silly on me too.

Words on wooden tongues
promise to reveal fresh dirt
and buried secrets.

Long rows wind around.
Oh, how long lines go so slow—
so so so so slow.

Don't mix apples and
If you can't do the time, don't
When the cat's away.

Nothing to be done.
It is what it is is all.
Nothing to be done.

Why buy the cow, when
Money is the root of all
A penny saved is?

I have seen the rain
come down on a sunny day.
It is beautiful.

Are there so many
songs about rainbows and what's
on the other side?

Don't count your chickens.
You can't make an omelet
Until the cows come.

The note "personal
communication" transforms
it to something else.

There's more than one way
Variety is the spice
Good fences make good.

Love is the answer
to a question difficult
to formulate well.

We laugh at fools and
The world laughs at fools like us
All laughing like fools.
