Never tell anyone they're wrong on the internet. Not even if they're saying "Charlie Brown had hoes." Walk away with your hands in your pockets. Breathe deeply. Go into a bar and order a whisky. So he didn't have hoes; the facts say otherwise. It's not worth your life.

I cannot tell you how much I needed "Jason Statham Asks Nothing of Me" by Chloe Wilson. www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

Jason Statham Asks Nothing of Me
by Chloe Wilson
a poem

from the March 12, 2026 issue of The New York Review of Books (spread over 3 screenshots, unfortunately)

And for this I'm grateful. The scene:
I'm in my convalescent's nest—a corner of the sofa.
Floral pajamas, oily roots. The pain refers into my shoulders, as they foretold. A flash of the anesthetist: This will feel cold. Your face

will prickle. A male voice: She's out. Let's do this.
Now, in the weeks between visits to the theater, I want nothing
to do with human drama. Spare me the pathos, the redemption arc. What do I want? That's easy.

Meataxe logic. Justice in its roughest
approximation. I want boots crunching across broken glass, I want someone to throw themselves from a skyscraper onto a helicopter, I want atomic laws to be a surmountable inconvenience,

and the plot incidental, motivations
paper thin. Good merciful god, I want to watch things explode. Is a little gelignite
too much to ask? And then cued up like a gift is the filmography of Jason Statham. I am touched

by the solicitude of the algorithm.
One after another I consume them. I cannot get enough. Mafioso, secret agent, marine or criminal, it doesn't matter, in every incarnation he's the same, plus or minus kevlar,

beret, turtleneck. I watch as he dispatches henchmen, wisecrackers, kingpins, I watch him plunge a harpoon into the eye of a prehistoric mackerel and am filled with something I recognize as tenderness—

there is nothing in this world, shaky
on its tectonic plates, as reliable as Jason Statham passing a sharp instrument
through the soft tissue of his enemies. One nurse to another when they thought I was asleep: Check it out,

her urine's blue. I think of my own grandfather who died with gangrene
at the tips of his fingers, I think of his same tough-guy shtick:
I'll cry tomorrow. I'll cry tomorrow, I say to myself in the bathroom mirror,

or sometimes, There's no crying
in baseball. It doesn't work, but never mind, Jason Statham is bare-knuckled or French-kissing or with a semiautomatic in each hand.
He puts his fist through something pliable

and I am dulcified. He asks nothing of me I cannot give, that I am not prepared to give, and for this I'm grateful. I remember my surgeon, tanned and personable, standing

Peru, saying Have you been? Have you stood on Machu Picchu? No, I said, but I've heard it's beautiful, though Jason Statham would have said it better. He'd have replied in the manner of a genuine geezer, spinning a toothpick

between his teeth. When they pulled the drainage tube from my abdomen it felt alive, sliding like a python. I've
never gasped like that before. I'm sorry, said the nurse, I'm so sorry. We looked at each other,

equally horrified, the tube still in her hand. Whatever else they decide to excise, here is
my promise: if I can't fight through this as casually as Jason Statham, I will at least imitate my favorite

of his enemies. I will slip into anesthesia as though it were the Mariana. I will zip myself into a suit of deep gray neoprene and glide through this ocean, hostile, endless.
The dark water will part in my presence.

If you’re a woman in your 40s or 50s and spend any time online, you will get a lot of perimenopause marketing thrown at you. I certainly do. It’s a crazy time and you can feel like your body is breaking down and your mind is not what it used to be. The promise of hormone therapy sounds great. EXCEPT
