The cruelty of comfortable habits

The cruelty of comfortable habits

The dead sun drew a smile of blood across my face, spoke to me through the shadow of my voice:  “Man”, it said, “this might be next to nothing and drawn through a bitter tap, but it’s all you’ll ever have. Don’t spill a drop.” – John Glenday, from Grain, via Chris Floyd‘s ”Love and...
