‘Used to be, the invisible man was invincible in school.

But now.

He wanted to be a scientist and discover things.

A cure for cancer. New stars. New planets.

Somebody in Toronto already beat him to the discovery of penicillin.

And now.

Just sex and poetry.

And a taste for leaving.

Every time he walks down the street that leads out of town, his thumb breaks out in a rash.’

– Patrice Desbiens, L’homme invisible / The Invisible Man

‘Here comes

Here comes another hard winter in Babylon

Where have you gone?

Damn you and the horse you rode in on

What star did you fall down from?

Why’d you have to be so cruel?

So cruel.’

– Kevin Quain, ‘Winter in Babylon’
