ON THE FATE OF THE TULIP SULTAN

Tom Fahey is dead in Boston tonight, the last

of the guys with hemophilia. Tim, I took down but kept the list we made one night of our friends

who died. Little icons crayoned by their names,

sienna shoes, a midnight truck, a lemon puppy, for Matt a cherry guitar. Names

that kept coming until we ran out of room.

Tonight Tom's dead. Three hundred years away, the sultan the Ottomans exiled but let live

embroiders a memory of his tulips

on a tapestry in bright silks. The white stone of the first full moon in April, the jugglers

who strolled the garden with crayon-colored balls.

Real gold for the flames of candles on the backs of the tortoises that plodded through the bowers.

A week-long celebration each spring

for the thousand kinds of tulips that he bred. He doesn't know that as he stitches them

his tulips are beginning to be forgotten.

And three hundred years away only a catalog of them survives. Does it matter

that already no one else alive remembers

the day you, Greg, and I walked arm in arm through Central Square; or the New Year's Eve

on the harbor watching fireworks, when the kids

crouching in the trees flung champagne bottles that hit the street like green exploding stars?

Milton was wrong. It's not just sin we need to see

in order to know it later on, but joy. One day, when the sultan was old and carving a ring

from jade, he said, This green is sun through leaves

on an afternoon in my garden before it bloomed. My moves with faith are slow; I'm a tortoise

with a candle on its back. Tim, the list

of what I've loved numbers in the thousands. Surely I'll recognize a thing worth loving

when I see it for the rest of my life.

it’s funny cause sydney is described as incredibly impatient and yet she seems to have the patience of a saint when it comes to carmy.

wish ppl understood the power nowadays in not giving something attention. things today are so focused on attention and reaction and #memes that the best way to shut literally anything down is simply not give it exactly what it wants. like you arent going to own that bigot on twitter youre going to boost their original message whether thats your intent or not and you arent just playing with ai for shits and giggles you are giving it free learning and data. just stop engaging with things that dont deserve it

People with psychotic conditions like schizophrenia are not just concepts, we are real living people and we are members of your communities. When you insult people by calling them "clinically insane" or "certifiable" or delusional or when you use words like delulu, the psychotic people in your communities notice it and we know that we are not welcome or wanted.
