“Over the years of being stuck in this shit hole called life, I had debated religion and church, souls and freewill, heaven and hell. I had come to a few conclusions. Mankind was too self-serving to understand what He had wanted from them. It wasn’t a million dollar church, it wasn’t perfection, it wasn’t about how many times you prayed or apologized or that one day a month where you fed the homeless. And you weren’t banished to hell for that one time you told someone to fuck off. You didn’t end up in hell for that time you were a bitch to your fellow man. It took a lot to end up there, and man worked at it with crazed enthusiasm. They worked harder at chiseling their way into hell, than any other action.”

“Kufanikiwa katika maisha lazima kitu fulani ambacho si cha kawaida kitokee katika maisha yako, bila kujali uko upande wa Yesu au upande wa Shetani. Kufanikiwa katika maisha ni sawa na kwenda mbinguni, au kuishi mbinguni duniani. Kitu ambacho si cha kawaida kutokea katika maisha yako ni sawa na kifo. Fanya kitu ambacho hujawahi kufanya kupata kitu ambacho hujawahi kupata.”

“I like pros, especially when it comes to tennis and rent boys” — and here I’m really wondering if the pun on prose consolidates Bruce’s feeling toward it versus poetry under the sign of sex, which Bruce sometimes pays for, in order to direct us toward the pleasure of its use-function when monetised, a pleasure seldom associated with poetry, and one that might lead to the company of more pros. He continues: “If I can get a twofer, and the trick looks like Rafael Nadal, I’m in heaven.”
