from Aphorisms

Psychoanalysis
always looks for the egg
in a basket
that has been lost.

*       *       *

I sample sin as if it were
the beginning of well-being.

*       *       *

I don't like Paradise
as they probably don't have obsessions there.

*       *       *

If God absolves me
he always does so
for insufficient
evidence.

*       *       *

Everyone is a friend of his own pathology.

*       *       *

When I raise a toast to madness,
I toast myself as well.

*       *       *

There are nights that don't
ever happen.
