JIM CARROLL: I was up at Sandy Daley's room at the Chelsea about a year after Patti and I had split up, and I put my hand around her waist and said, "We should get together again, Patti." I guess she must of been really hot for Sam Shepard, because she looked at Sandy and they started laughing—obviously all this girl talk had gone on—it was like, "Man, are you kidding? A year ago if you had said that to me I woulda jumped out the window, baby. But not now. Sorry, Jim." You know, she was like, "I told you you were gonna blow it if you didn't stay with me." So I did feel that, man, maybe it was a big mistake, but through all those vacillations that Patti went through I don't know if I could of handled that. In the Mapplethrope book it says she left me, after she picked my mind about poetry and got some recognition of her own, but it didn't happen that way. We just kinda drifted apart . . . you know, she was like, "I was faithful to you and you kept fucking the fashion model!" But we did talk a lot about poetry. Patti's poems were very different than mine—she had this whole Dionysian thing, whereas I was pretty Apollonian. That's why she was so successful with rock—she could just go nuts and counterpoint it with this sweet self and let go with this weird-angry-magic self, too. She could just let it all loose, but formwise she wasn't that disciplined, and to me that was really important. Patti was taking in everything I was saying about form, and a longer line, but I mean that was all technical stuff, and neither of us were going to change. I didn't like all her poems, but she had some really good lines in there.

🍓All about: Astrocartography! 🍓
‧˚꒰🐾꒱༘⋆ astrocartography is a form of astrology that shows your life under certain places!
‧˚꒰🐾꒱༘⋆ there's your sun, moon, mercury, venus, mars, saturn and more!
‧˚꒰🐾꒱༘⋆ your sun line is where you should go if you want to feel like the main character! being under your sun line brings out your real self and you'll feel quite comfortable there.
my sun line is over poland! when I was there I felt like I was in a main character 😂. I was quite happy and met a lot of positive people there.
‧˚꒰🐾꒱༘⋆ your moon line is where you'll probably feel more emotionally in tune. you could have been raised there or have some sort of pull towards that place. your moon line is like your home and you'll feel like you belong there.
my moon line is over Ottawa! I used to live there for many years and I feel so emotionally connected to that city! my mom studied there and my sister was born there.
‧˚꒰🐾꒱༘⋆ your mercury line would be the best place to network, make friends and to learn. this would be a good place to go if you're studying for a bit or socializing. you can learn a lot of things here. I haven't been under my mercury line yet so anyone who has should definitely share their experience!
‧˚꒰🐾꒱༘⋆ your venus line is where you'll be the most creative. if you're working in the entertainment industry for example, being under your venus line can bring a lot of ideas and inspiration. venus also rules over love so it's possible to have a lot of romantic experiences under your venus line!
‧˚꒰🐾꒱༘⋆ your mars line is where you'll be the most motivated! this line can be a hit or miss because you might encounter fights and issues under this line, or other times you'll feel like a lot of things are faced paced. this can be good for networking and such but isn't the best for settling down.
‧˚꒰🐾꒱༘⋆ your jupiter line where you'll feel luck and is also great for school. you'll get a lot of opportunities as well. when you're under your jupiter line things can feel "big" for you. I'm living under my jupiter line and it's the best! I have a lot of opportunities, met with people and everything is big! my school is bigger than my old one, I have met cool people and life can feel like a movie at times!
‧˚꒰🐾꒱༘⋆ your saturn line is where you'll feel tied down or where you'll learn the most lessons. saturn represents discipline and limitation. for me living under my saturn line for years felt limiting. my old school didn't have much opportunities and I was facing a lot of hardships.

And once, i whispered:
Dear stars, please save me a dream that will hold one gently
And that night your hands cradled my cheeks
and you lied right beside me calling me yours
