Good Bones

Life is short, though I keep this from my children.
Life is short, and I’ve shortened mine
in a thousand [...] ways.
The world is at least
fifty percent terrible, and that’s a conservative
estimate, though I keep this from my children.
[...]
I am trying
to sell them the world. Any decent realtor,
walking you through a real shithole, chirps on
about good bones: This place could be beautiful,
right? You could make this place beautiful.

[Maggie Smith]
