Truth

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

if you're a young person, ask a middle-aged man what music they listened to in the 90s. let them talk for 30 mins. act interested and say "oh wow no way that's so cool." after that you can ask them for any favor

Going through my Notes app and adding cuttings to the long poem I've been working on and came upon this fragment: "Defenestration is a wonder bug" 🤷‍♂️

What if I started a bank that borrowed money to buy student loans and ended up bankrupt after forgiving everyone’s loans?

@GabrielJBump Next month will be 12 years since we lost our baby girl. Still and still and still... it gets easier, but still and still. DM me your mailing address, I'd love to send you a copy of my poetry book centered around our baby loss and grief work.

This year's poetry goal is to create a moment in one of my long poems as surprising and satisfying as the "Aww Yeaaah" at 4:51 in Primal Scream's "Loaded."
