Pots and Pans by Anthony Brault

[jaxwrites]

this is the biggest injustice in the fucking world, that there is no symmetry in feelings. you can love someone so deeply and they can feel nothing for you at all, it's perfectly possible, not mutually exclusive. how can we just accept this as normal, or even as bearable? we should be out in the streets, we should be burning this world down. i believe there is a better one where love is so tangible, when it's there you can see it, you can give it to somebody and you can be certain, There, They Have It, it can be given somehow, it can be undeniable, you can actually do something good for somebody. i'm awful in many ways but i want to do something good so badly, and here the most you can do is just not be an issue, maybe die if you really love them.

While taking a nap today I dreamt there was a hazard sign called "never found" which was used to indicate a location where people disappeared never to be seen again

suddenly remembered this poem as i was making breakfast this morning & frantically googled “poem remembered to buy eggs?????????” & somehow managed to find it & it utterly knocked the wind out of me just as much as when i first read it

Anyone got that poem written from the perspective of an English teacher where they know deeply personal things about their now adult students because of the essays they wrote

This is one of my favorites hand down

when smoking in one's garden, one hopes that a little ember would but glance off a slug's wet body and extinguish itself on her slimy belly, not burn a wicked wound in her. but when smoking around the enemy's stronghold, one hopes it would catch some gunpowder left about, and burn the whole thing down in a storm of chance.
