carmen maria machado meat eater no. 5
I realized today that I will die
with work unfinished, and someone
will have to find it. I am determined
to be alone, so who knows who
will have to sift through it all—fragments
of pages of nothing, dumb e-mails.
Will it be a lover? I hate the word
lover, but one of my lovers loves
the word lover, and so I can’t escape
it even though it makes me feel
beloved. I have a type, and I always
find them. When they ask me to put my own
hand to my own throat, I don’t just listen,
I ask Are you left-handed or right? because
the first or second or third or fourth
time you fuck someone is never the best;
ecstasy takes practice. I want to say this,
but I don’t because it would put pressure
on this nothing. I will die, and someone
(not them) will have to make sense
of the unfinished books and juvenilia
and W-2s and archived Internet journals
and paper to-do lists (car inspection, playlist
for K——, digitize to-do list). I’ll die
because one day I was alive
and the next day I was alive with a little
cul-de-sac at the end of an artery
in my brain. The doctor is concerned.
You’re telling me, dude. He has knowledge,
wisdom, experience. But I have some,
too. He asks if I have questions, and I tell him
the trick to having your heart broken
is telling someone You are going to break
my heart because either you’re happy
to be wrong, or you’re right.

Against Idleness & Mischief
How doth the little busy bee
Improve each shining hour,
And gather honey all the day
From every opening flower!
How skillfully she builds her cell!
How neat she spreads the wax!
And labours hard to store it well
With the sweet food she makes.
In works of labour or of skill,
I would be busy too;
For Satan finds some mischief still
For idle hands to do.
In books, or work, or healthful play,
Let my first years be passed,
That I may give for every day
Some good account at last.
- Isaac Watts, English theologian and writer of such well-known hymns as “O God, our help in ages past.”

It was a thought. Colors are approximations.
