“I drove all the way to Cape Disappointment but didn't have the energy to get out of the car. Rental. Blue Ford Focus. I had to stop in a semi-public place to pee on the ground. Just squatted there on the roadside. I don't know what's up with my bladder. I pee and then I have to pee and pee again. Instead of sightseeing I climbed into the back seat of the car and took a nap. I'm a little like Frank O'Hara without the handsome nose and penis and New York School and Larry Rivers. Paid for a day pass at Cape Disappointment thinking hard about that long drop from the lighthouse to the sea. Thought about going into the Ocean Medical Center for a checkup but how do I explain this restless search for beauty or relief?”

“Immigration is learning to stretch into a bridge, backward and forward, one limb in each place, learning to hold tight to traditions and customs and names and memories in one hand, and with the other hand let go and lean in to a place you hope will see you for all the beauty that you bring.”

“З огляду на масштаби косметичної індустрії та великого індустріального комплексу краси, космічні прибульці, що завітали б до нас, напевно подумали б, що ми вважаємо себе достоту потворними істотами, що потребують постійного покращення.”

“Hi ha una tònica que sempre es repeteix, la qüestió de classe. La bellesa acosta a una il·lusió de poder, i és això el que la fa addictiva. Però és un poder esclau, traïdor, que no podem destriar de l'amenaça. La bellesa si no neix del desig és una fugida. I si ens acosta al poder, encara que sigui per un moment, no es tracta tant de control com d'adequació.”
