And they’re off! Birds are in the air and en route to Los Angeles. Don’t worry, we’ll leave the porch light on at Camp Cohen.

Do not act out words. Never act out words. Never try to leave the floor when you talk about flying. Never close your eyes and jerk your head to one side when you talk about death. Do not fix your burning eyes on me when you speak about love. If you want to impress me when you speak about love put your hand in your pocket or under your dress and play with yourself. If ambition and the hunger for applause have driven you to speak about love you should learn how to do it without disgracing yourself or the material.

– from “How to Speak Poetry” by Leonard Cohen.

All the poets I hate do the things he says not to do. (via jsykes)
