On Writing - Philip Roth

"When I sit down to write,
I am free from shame."

on loneliness - marilyn monroe

Only parts of us will ever touch only parts of others –
one’s own truth is just that really — one’s own truth.
We can only share the part that is within another’s knowing
acceptable
so one is for most part alone.
As it is meant to be
evidently in nature — at best
perhaps it could make our understanding seek another’s loneliness out.

Marilyn Monroe
the original in her hand:

Only parts of us will ever
touch only parts of others –
one’s own truth is just that really — one’s own truth.
We can only share the part that is understood by within another’s knowing acceptable to
the other — therefore so one
is for most part alone.
As it is meant to be in
evidently in nature — at best though perhaps it could make
our understanding seek
another’s loneliness out.
