Thakur’s Ear (Re-Post)

The child in the officer took hold
And he made some gestures at the simians.
At this, a monkey sprang from a nearby ledge onto Thakur's shoulder.
It pulled at his hair and then climbed up a wall.

Thakur again called out to the monkey, which obliged. It came down to his shoulder, but
This time it snatched his spectacles.

Thakur did not lose patience.
He began calling the monkey again,
This time to retrieve his glasses.

The simian must have suspected something.
It threw away the glasses and again jumped on to Thakur's shoulder.

It pulled his head, bit off his left ear, and fled.

Bloodied and screaming, Thakur slumped on the road. His neighbors rushed out and took him to hospital.

I Wish Someone Would Hurt You

Frank Sinatra to Shirley MacLaine:

“I wish someone would hurt you, Shirley . . . So I could kill ’em for you.”

What can I say about this quote from the Chairman of the Board? A street-elegance, a unique style and delivery . . . He seemed to me like a filter, you put in raw emotion and out came words, interesting, surprising words. This quote speaks to the fierceness of love. It describes the moment when love acquires such a level of ferocity that the love itself becomes the subject, instead of the lover or the loved. “My love is fierce—this fierce!”
