White Lily

White Lily

"What Fassbinder film is it? The one-armed man walks into a flower shop and says:

What flower expresses days go by and they just keep going by endlessly pulling you into the future, days go by endlessly pulling you into the future.

And the florist says;

white lily"

--Laurie Anderson, "White Lily"

I love Laurie Anderson. Her lyrics seem close to purest poetry to me -- so simple as to be almost invisible, almost like a palimpsest on the page.

Do bloggers post photos?

Sure, bloggers post photos. In fact, some blogs are nothing more than photos (like this one).

I'm a big fan of Laurie Anderson, too--I find her lyrics almost zen like, in both the conciseness of the phrasing as well as the sometimes absurdity of the words.
