Ladybird (2017) is a lovely movie.
“Well, I was just describing it.”

“Well, it comes across as love.”

“Sure, I guess I pay attention.”

“Don’t you think maybe they are the same thing? Love and attention?”

Jeebus have mercy
Heartbreak City Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This chamber’s made of echoes
This house is a mirage
The pavement’s only potholes
And the streets will get you lost
The sun is made of candle wax
And the water’s made of beer
It’s Heartbreak City over here

[Verse 2]
The bed is made of ice cubes
The pillows disappeared
The nights are made of sleepless
And the days are made of tears
I’m not scared of dying
Just living my worst fear
It’s Heartbreak City over here

I can't believe she doesn't like it when I sing her the fatty fatty 2x4 song. Ungrateful. #cats
Perfect but slightly chubby black and brown tabby cat showing her fluffy belly on a bed in front of a bookshelf.

The main thing that youth has going for it is porpoise-tight skin. Raw, wide-eyed newness is meaningless. Nostalgia for knowing nothing is asinine; you can’t recapture it and you don’t want to relive it. Better to sing a song of experience with your burning tiger’s heart.

As youths say, Auden cooked with this one. #poetry
Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
But on earth indifference is the least
We have to dread from man or beast.

How should we like it were stars to burn
With a passion for us we could not return?
If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.

Admirer as I think I am
Of stars that do not give a damn,
I cannot, now I see them, say
I missed one terribly all day.

Were all stars to disappear or die,
I should learn to look at an empty sky
And feel its total dark sublime,
Though this might take me a little time.

Thrilled for my poem, "Laundromat Blues" to be featured in LCC's beautiful Summer 2025 issue. #booksky #poetry
Poem reading: 
Laundromat Blues

It made my thighs ache,
your knees hooked over mine, 
mug resting on your sternum,

free hand on phone. 
No pain is welcomed
in the moment,
in the making

of sofa commercials,
of imprints and intimacies,
on cushions

and cuttings
clipped from our
unremarkable 
unremarked upon touchings

that pile up,
laundry in the corner 
of shared lives.

My jumping off point for this was my absolute favorite Paul Simon lyric. From Graceland: “Losing love is like a window in your heart/everybody sees you’re blown apart.” 1922review.com/Issue1Vol1_T... #poetry #poem #booksky
