Of Broken Hearts and Dead Heroes- Kurt Vonnegut 1922-2007

Breakfasting with champions Sound nutrition for a growing girl Delicious, too. Damn near perfection. Cat in my cradle sharp claws and foreboding meows prophetically scratching out neural canals filled with songs of the way it goes. ‘Charm’s a scheme’ – opus in D Major ‘Maturity a bitter disappointment’ – e minor fugue and ‘The purpose of a human life, no matter who’s controlling it is to love whoever’s around to be loved’ – Symphony in C Songs to plug in by Lifted by laughter into the network of lovers and livers thinkers and givers titans and dreamers and friends. When the overspeed trip triggers it’s good to know that the power’s still flowing ready for next time of plugging in and cooking breakfast.
