The laughing heart

Your life is your life
don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is a light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
you can’t beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.

-The whole world's coming to an end, Mal.
-I see angels, Mickey. They're comin' down for us from heaven. They're coming right at us. And I see the future. There's no death 'cause you and I, we're angels.
-I love you, Mal.
-I know you do, baby. I've loved you since the day we met.


'Anyone who's ever had a heart
Wouldn't turn around and break it
And anyone who's ever played a part
Wouldn't turn around and hate it'
