  1. Measured is my time here, in your arms. Measured is the amount that I smoke each day. Measured is the amount of food that I eat and water that I drink. Measured are my days here. Do I know the increments? Do I know the time and place? No.

  3. The doctor measured the girl with the height meter. The girl was sad to see she was still the same short height that she had always been. Never growing, always staying the same. People had always picked on her in middle school and high school because of her teeny self, and now she knew she would be stuck like this forever.

  5. The line of a man. The line of a woman. What we seek and what we’re all guided by. Our stones, pegs, desires and ires. All cast and thrown in to each other to relate to something that amounts to this word. What’s it all worth in the end? Nothing but more words.

  7. My breath is pouring in and out in smaller pieces than usual, filling up my lungs less and less each day. My heart is beating weaker, my mind is churning less efficiently. I’m ticking and clicking and nothing is fitting and I’m in need of fixing.
    My life is measured, from moment to moment.

  8. equal in count

  9. To be measured is to be under a state of mind in which the man has become a tool of his own mind. He acts with a discipline; he acts above and beyond the expectations of others, but exactly to his own expectations.

  11. They were all looking up. Taking it in. But differently. Some with sunglasses, others shading their eyes with their hands or a magazine. I wanted the pain. Stronger. I wanted my eyes to stream. To hurt.

  12. I measured the length of my hair.

  13. “I’ve measured out my life with coffee spoons.” My little English Major’s heart almost burst in Bible STudy the other day when someone quoted “Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock” as we studied Psalm 139. In 20 years of ministry, it was a unique experience.

  15. The actions often take time, but it is important to make sure I follow them in order. If I don’t, it will mean that I have failed. All that time spent will be worth nothing less than absolution if it goes off. She has to die, and I have to make sure I do it just right.

  16. I think that if we all measured the amount of kindness we put into our words the world would be a nicer place. If we measured the amount of time we spent listening the words would have time to be thought about before they came out. we all need to take time to measure what we have to say to each other each day.

  17. when you die, how do you want to measure how great your life was? by your accomplishment, by the number of people youve impacted, by your words, or by your happiness?

  18. En correas rotas, en tareas comidas. En paseos por el parque, en noches de lectura junto al fogón. En cuantos gatos perseguiste, de los cuales a ninguno atrapaste. En las noches en que despierto bruscamente del sueño profundo y espero encontrarte recostado a los pies de la cama. En los que aguardo a que aparezcas de la nada y espantes la tristeza que me embarga con alguno de tus roncos ladridos.

    Como medir lo mucho que te extraño.

  19. Each move was measured, planned. Blueprints lay on the table, cards face-up. I knew it was manipulation. How could it be anything but?

  22. I measured the size of the man’s brain. It was abnormal and swollen indicating to me that this was no natural death. He suffered. The tox screen came back and had measured a significant amount of gold in his blood. Poetic, a gold digger killing her husband with gold heavy metal poisoning…most people just use mercury.

  23. What are we measured against? Our past, future, present? Our accomplishments? Why are we measured? Who even cares? We measure ourselves up against each other? We measure everything against something else, why don’t we just live? Done with measuring!

  28. people have to be measured in their personality. in their capabilities. we measure different things. our height, weight, our intelligence. measurements are the basis of people’s ideas for perfection. we measure food quantities when baking, to make sure the final product is perfect. we measure ourselves, and compare ourselves to others.

    The units of sadness

  37. we measured time and space as if that would help us in this living thing.. measuring our lives accomplishments by things instead of experiences, and all these things that we were told to want we never really needed… measured happiness in the wrong way, we realize that now, and now its time to go back.

  38. The judge measured me with care,
    I jumped upon the palm of her hand,
    She decided my fate,

    Never will I be free,
    I’ll just dance upon people’s hands,
    Whether controlled like a puppet or not.
