Anne Sexton Quotes

Tuesday

I Have Invented A Lie.
There Is No Other Day But Monday.
It Seemed Reasonable To Pretend
that I Could Change The Day
like A Pair Of Socks.
To Tell The Truth
days Are All The Same Size
and Words Aren't Much Company.
If I Were Sick, I'd Be A Child,
tucked In Under The Woolens, Sipping My Broth.
As It Is,
the Days Are Not Worth Grabbing Or Lying About.
Nevertheless, You Are The Only One
that I Can Bother With This Matter.

Monday

It Would Be Pleasant To Be Drunk:
faithless To My Tongue And Hands,
giving Up The Boundaries
for The Heroic Gin.
Dead Drunk
is The Term I Think Of,
insensible,
neither Cool Nor Warm,
without A Head Or Foot.
To Be Drunk Is To Be Intimate With A Fool.
I Will Try It Shortly.
