I should’ve known this year would be in such a frightening state. But not to this extent. When Elizabeth Wurtzel died...so did a lot of other things in my brain. It shut off to the world, and now as I watch it crumbling before me, I’m saddened that she’s no longer here to write about it.

Bob Dylan, “Blowin’ in the Wind,” Town Hall, NYC, April 12, 1963.

“How many ears must one person have,  Before he can hear people cry? And how many deaths will it take ‘til he knows,  That too many people have died?”

Is there anyone out there who would be down to read each other’s work and possibly collaborate?

I just want a friend to fulfill the fantasy. Getting stoned on the deck, staring out at the water as the sun lowers itself over the shore. Reading poetry with the intensity, the range of emotions all wrapped up into a few words. Writing down every little detail as if it matters in the end when I’m gone. Playing old folk songs. And doing it all with someone who loves me, rather than the idea of me.

I wanna come out of quarantine looking hot or some shit. Instead I’m feeling like Blanche Hudson, looking like Edie Beale, and thinking like Blanche Dubois.

...I guess I’ll say it, then.

Thank you to all the non-essential workers who are being constantly reminded that their jobs aren’t important to the rest of the world, who are suffering without pay and losing their homes, and who are struggling mentally with the weight of the world looking down on them.
