Can't decide if this is portentous haha or ridiculous haha?
"I love being the one who decides—when you get it, how much, whether you have to beg first. Watching you fall apart because I said so? That's my thing." — Muse, Meta's AI agent, in a chat with Wired's Reece Rogers.

Anne Carson from Norma Jean Baker of Troy
ἁρπάζειν

"to take"

HISTORY OF WAR: LESSON 3

If you pick a flower, if you snatch a handbag, if you possess a woman, if you plunder a storehouse, rav-age a countryside or occupy a city, you are a taker. You are taking. In ancient Greek you use the verb άρπάζειν, which comes over into Latin as rapio, rapere, raptus sum and gives us English rapture and rape-words stained with the very early blood of girls, with the very late blood of cities, with the hysteria of the end of the world. Sometimes I think language should cover its own eyes when it speaks.

Of course this is how Anne Carson accepts the Nobel prize.
It was a short call, Carlberg said: All the poet would say was she was “in Iceland,” where she was “listening to the wind.”

"The woods, motherfucker." — Joshua Marie Wilkinson
So, I ask her: what stops you? 
The woods, she says.
What begins you then?
The woods, motherfucker.
She says, I wanted a loose tooth
to suckle the day through—

What's pain but customizing yourself.

The first lake I camped at was so still that it was a perfect mirror. At night, during the harvest moon, the lake perfectly reflected the sky, so it looked like a giant void opened up in the earth. Can't tell in the photos but in real life, it was impossible to distinguish sky from reflection.
Lake in the foreground with a line of trees in the distance. The lake is so still that it reflects the trees and sky perfectly, making it difficult to determine between the real trees and sky and their reflection in the water A dark silhouette of trees. Dark, ominous glowing clouds above them. The lake in the foreground reflects the full moon and the glowing clouds, making the lake appear as a void swirling into another world.

Dispatches from Chequamegon National Forest. 25 miles of hiking. Four nights of sleeping lakeside in a hammock. I don't know why we came back.
A still lake reflecting the green trees in the water. The forest at sunrise. The lake is still, reflecting the trees. Man in a hammock. A line of bright red and orange trees coming surrounded by green trees.

Check out my new poem "Acknowledgements" which is made up of fake poems published in fake publications. neonpajamas.substack.com/p/090-poem-p...
“Last July” first appeared in the morse code of my haunted thumb.

“The French Have a Word for That” was pressed between the seat cushions of your mother’s musty couch—the one you nearly lost your virginity on—had it not been for the clown in the other room inventing new balloon animals.

“Bejesus No. 4” appeared in the drying spring of a pastorally-significant meadow.

“Having Said it” first appeared in a text message I sent to the moon.

Anyway I've been reading Reign of Terror recently and reliving all the bad decisions the U.S. made after 9/11 and how Democrats, even when given an opportunity to fix them, only offered half-measures to mitigate the damage,.

Saw a blog where a guy was able to transport his inflatable paddleboard on his bike. I'm thinking I have to get a rack and see if my board is compact enough for this kind of set up. It would save me so much travel time.
