please please please be aware that if you and your friends get addicted to saying YIPPEEE like fortnite und cola yippee it will have an intoxicating effect and you might accidentally say it in a really important business meeting to a bunch of men you don't know
Just because you’re angry doesn’t mean you have the right to be cruel.

FOR JANET, AT THE NEW YEAR The way I want to love you, the way I want to be loved is with such abundance, with so much willing profusion— like those tiny blue flowers that turn a glade into a sky blue lake, or our stars, brilliance strewn across the black felt sky like a child gone wild with glitter and glue. I want a love that quickens the dead wood of our hearts, rubbing life into the sticks with the power of seasons, revealing brittleness to be only winter with buds straining against the bark.
For Janet, at the New Year by Ellen Bass
Clark: Fun Saturday?
Bruce: No. My bird died.
Clark: Well, my mom used to say when a bird dies, he gets another set of wings in heaven.
Bruce: Well, that bird was going straight to hell.
