Rough and Rowdy Ways at home
I walk again by Wendy's

Southern man listening to Dylan
Accent warm and friendly

He tells me of the Band
Invites me to a party

I tell him of Scorcese
The filmmaker named Marty

And the Nobel Lecture
The Odyssey. Moby ****.

Time for me to go.
Goodbye. Farewell. Quinn! ****.

The position of Christian prayer
Is kneeling

The position of Aristotelian insight
Is walking

The position of Platonic philosophy
Is talking

The position of Christ Crucified
Is wounded healing

The Kingdom of God comes like
A thief in the Night, he said.

                        Stealing.

Be attentive. Be intelligent. Be reasonable. Be responsible. Be loving. Develop, and,

              if necesary, Change.

I pay well, but the wenches are all ****** and pigs.

                          - Michelangelo


This train
Carries saints and sinners

This train
Carries losers and winners

This train
Carries ****** and gamblers

This train
Carries broken-hearted

This train
Thieves and sweet souls departed

This train
Carries fools, Carries kings

This train

                           All aboard!

   - Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band

Gandhi (played by Ben Kingsley)
And his friend, Charlie, an Anglican clergyman
Are walking through streets in
South Africa
Discussing unjust laws
And unjust men
When they are approached
By a couple of thuggish whites
Who speak belligerently
And angrily threaten
Gandhi (played by Ben Kingsley)

We've warned you, they threaten.

Gandhi gently smiles:  

           We've warned each other.
