“You were uncomfortable in your own skin you were thirsty but mostly you were beautiful
If we were our paranoias I'd be joining you
if we were our incomes
If we were our obsessions
If we were our afflictions i'd be joining you”

“We had to fight the Okies because we were Mexicans! It didn’t matter to them that my brother and I were outcasts on our own turf. They’d have laughed if we’d told them that we were easterners.

Peach pickers, cannery workers and clerks.”

For silent and still were we;
Our hearts were drunk with a beauty
Our eyes could never see.”

Context: Far up the dim twilight fluttered
Moth-wings of vapour and flame:
The lights danced over the mountains,
Star after star they came. The lights grew thicker unheeded,
For silent and still were we;
Our hearts were drunk with a beauty
Our eyes could never see.
