Design Flaw

One of those rare bumblebees who agreed with the engineers about not being able to fly
so he mainly sits around & watches the other bees work themselves to death.

Den egentlige grunnen

Det er noen ting man gjar fordi de foles riktige & de er kanskje uten mening & de gir deg ingen penger & de kan vaere den egentlige grunnen til at vi er her: for a elske hverandre & spise hverandres mat & si at det smakte godt.

Delegating Anxiety

good at delegating anxiety so nobody sleeps all that well around here

Delayed Gratification

the real problem with details is there’s so many of them

Deepest Secrets

O no, she said, you can’t say just anything to the wind. Only the deepest secrets will do & also you must not use the letter i.

Deepest Desires

Wish for your deepest desires, she said & when I asked if they’d come true, she said they always do, so you might as well get them out in the open while you’re still young enough to correct any serious mistakes.

Deep Roots

When I die, she said, I’m coming back as a tree with deep roots & I’ll wave my leaves at the children every morning on their way to school & whisper tree songs at night in their dreams. Trees with deep roots know about the things children need.

This is a pretty deep hole for putting away all the ugly things in the world. For a long time it was empty, but it started filling up really fast the last couple of years.

Day Job

This holds all the stuff you haven’t been listening to & when the top comes off, it all starts to talk at once & it makes you glad you have a day job so you can get away for part of the time.

Day Break

liking each other because it’s a beautiful day & it seems like a waste of time to disagree about stuff the other one is refusing to change out of sheer stubbornness

Dark Way

I’m not sure if the world’s all that serious, she said, or if it just has a really dark way of having a good time.

Dark Night

Counted up all the things she was afraid of one night & it took so long she fell asleep from exhaustion

Dark Garden

I once had a garden filled with flowers that grew only on dark thoughts but they need constant attention & one day I decided I had better things to do.

Dark Eyes

Standing in the twilight watching the world with soft dark eyes.

Dangerous Thoughts

Filled to the brim with dangerous thoughts & no where to put them since she lives in a small town & everybody’s always watching.

Dancing in Church

Doesn’t anybody dance in church anymore? she whispered & her sister said not since the white people took over & the afternoon took a lifetime after that.

Dancing Mailman

Our mailman was a dance teacher at night & I would watch him sometimes to see if he would deliver mail differently than the others. I expected to see him leap over bushes with his toes pointing like arrows, but all he ever did was walk.

Dance Pick

I don’t mind dancing with you, he told her one night, as long as I get to pick the dance sometimes. OK, she said, you pick. So they went home & made popcorn & looked at magazines all night long
