Favorite Quote:
Opinions and fish.- Possessing opinions is like possessing fish, assuming one has a fishpond. One has to go fishing and needs some luck-then one has one’s own fish, one’s own opinions. I am speaking of live opinions, of live fish. Others are satisfied if they own a cabinet of fossils-and in their hands, “convictions.”


My Little Potato

I have this little potato
and this little potato has herself some problems
she says, I’m an ugly potato!
and I say back to her, gurl nah
you a beautiful potato
but she doesn’t listen
she says, I’m a fat potato!
and I say back to her, then what does that make me
my little potato cannot speak
her little mouth speaks nothing but sorrow
my little potato walks me home
and sneaks into my room to tell me things
melancholic things
I love my little potato
but she cannot love herself
everyday she looks in the mirror and says,
blah, I’m just an ugly potato
but my poor little potato
she won’t listen to me
ignoring my words she continues to believe she is nothing
but an ugly potato

It breaks my heart my little potato
listen to everyone around you
not ugly but cute
not fat but perfect
not terrible but wonderful
not stupid but smart
not mean but kind and sweet
my sweet little potato

Spread the word
tell every potato that you know
just what they mean to you
what light they shine into your life
my sweet little potato
I love my potato
everyone loves you my potato
you, are a beautiful potato
my sweet potato
