A few aphorisms from my upcoming book:
1. When words are few, each finds its place. It’s easy to get lost in a crowd.
3. Do not argue with idiots, they will outsmart you.
4. Most memories are forgotten more than once.
5. It's not fully yours until you have shortened it.
6. If you are a big ship, stay away from shallow waters.
7. Some weeds are worth cultivating.

I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness
of Teddy Wilson
"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark
