You said I could have anything I wanted, but I just couldn’t say it out loud.Actually, you said Love, for you, is larger than the usual romantic love. It’s like a religion. It’s terrifying. No one will ever want to sleep with you.Okay, if you’re so great, you do it— here’s the pencil, make it work . . .Build me a city and call it Jerusalem. Build me another and call it Jerusalem.We have come back from Jerusalem where we found not what we sought, so do it over, give me another version.The entire history of human desire takes about seventy minutes to tell.Unfortunately, we don’t have that kind of time.-Richard Siken
