SportCruiser

[audreymariec]

I thought of mentioning it but I didn’t.

Because captains aren’t like poets

they don’t make metaphors between the sea and sky.

And as I thought that to myself

I realized-

that’s why I write.

All of this circumnavigating the earth

was to get back to my life

6 trips to the moon for my poetry to arise

I’m not a captain

I’m not a pilot

I write

I write.

- “SportCruiser,” Lana Del Rey

Lana Del Rey: Violet bent backwards over the grass (SportCruiser)

[reflectivestarlightcore]

Every book I read in 2021 summarised in one sentence and reviewed in another: Part 3

Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass - Lana del Rey. A poetry collection from one of the most enigmatic singer-songwriters in recent memory. The poems I could actually understand were absolutely breathtaking (favourites were LA Who Am I to Love You, Sport Cruiser, and Never to Heaven).

More Tales of the City - Armistead Maupin (Tales of the City #2). The queer, horny 20-somethings in San Francisco keep on living their crazy lives. The plotlines of this book are genuinely absurd, much more so than the last one, but again the characters are so unironically wonderful I still remained really, really invested.

The Power of One (Peekay #1) - Bryce Courtenay. After being bullied in 1930′s boarding school, a white South African boy dreams of becoming a boxer, and in the process of pursuing said dreams accidentally becomes an icon of racial justice. Really, really heartwarming story of what it actually takes to change people’s minds and lives, enhanced by Courtenay’s wonderfully nuanced understanding of 1930′s and 40′s South Africa.

The Man in the High Castle - Philip K. Dick. In an alternate 1960′s where the Axis won WW2, various characters struggle to survive and thrive in Japanese-occupied San Francisco and Nazi-occupied New York. The world is interesting if unrealistic, but there are way too many characters and plotlines for a 200-page-novel to ever satisfyingly resolve them all (spoiler: it resolves none of them).

Odds Against Tomorrow - Nathaniel Rich. A paranoid NYC accountant starts making a living out of insuring business for apocalypse scenarios, but when an actual apocalypse scenario strikes New York, he is forced to reconsider his life. I loved loved LOVED this book right up until the ending, which just left me shocked and asking “Wait, that’s it?”

Tandia (Peekay #2) - Bryce Courtenay. Peekay, the boxer from Power of One, is now deliberately fighting for racial justice during the onslaught of apartheid, a process which leads him to meet Tandia, a half-Indian, half-African woman who is traumatised from her teenage rape. Power of One is more well-known, but this is much, much better and maybe the best book I read this year - the unpacking of systemic racism is brilliant, the characters are so compelling, and I needed several business days to process THAT ENDING.

Truth of the Divine (Noumena #2) - Lindsay Ellis. Another alien arrives to Earth while the US is debating what rights should be awarded to aliens, forcing the college dropout interpreter to befriend and work with a nosy journalist. It’s very appropriate that I read this and Tandia back to back, as they’re both sequels which were miles better than the original, they’re both very philosophically and thematically compelling, and both their endings ripped my soul out of my body.

Tuesdays with Morrie - Mitch Albom. A memoir from a burnt-out journalist who visited his old professor while the latter was dying of ALS, and during said visits received invaluable life advice. There’s definitely a reason this is the most successful memoir of all time; Morrie is that rare person who actually had a concrete, correct idea of how to live a fulfilling life and made it his mission to share that knowledge.

The Corrections - Jonathan Franzen. A naive grandmother sets her heart on gathering her splintering family together for one last Christmas at home, not realising that in doing so she is forcing every member of her family to confront exactly what is wrong in their lives. The characters are so realistic it hurts and the story is so gripping you forget it’s 500+ pages long (B5 pages for the record).

48 Shades of Brown - Nick Earls. A sheltered, awkward teenage boy is sent to live with his cool bass-playing aunt (who’s around his age - one of those aunts), forcing she and her roommate to teach him what they can about the ‘real world’. As the awkward only child of a somewhat sheltering family, I related to and enjoyed this book a lot for no particular reason.

“this idea that if I could become my own navigator

The captain of the sky,

That perhaps I could stop looking for direction

from you”

— Lana Del Rey, SportCruiser, from “Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass”

[moderndeadpoetssociety]

Sport Cruiser by Lana Del Rey, it just really touched my soul.

I took a flying lesson on my 33rd birthday, instead of calling you Or parking on the block where our old place used to be Pathetic, I know - but sometimes I still like to park on that street, And have lunch in the car just to feel close to you I was once in love with my life here, In that studio apartment with you Little yellow flowers on the tops of trees as our only view, Out of the only window, Big enough for me to see our future through But it turned out I was the only one who could see it stupid apartment complex Terrible you You, who I wait for You, you, you Like a broken record stuck on loop So that day, on my birthday, I thought "Something has to change" You can’t always be about waiting for you Don't tell anyone, but part of my reasoning for taking the flight class, was this idea that if I could become my own navigator The captain of the sky, That perhaps I could stop looking for direction from you

Well, what started off as an idea on a whim, Has turned into something more Too shy to explain to the owners that my first lesson was just a one-time thing I’ve continued to go to classes each week At the precious little strip off Santa Monica and Bundy And everything was going fine We were starting with dips and loops and then something terrible happened During my fourth lesson in the sky My instructor, younger than I, but as tough as you Instructed me to do a simple maneuverer It’s not that I didn’t do it, But I was slow to lean the sports cruiser into a right hand upward turn Scared, scared that I would lose control of the plane Not tactfully and not gently The instructor shook his head, and without looking at me said “You don’t trust yourself” I was horrified Feeling as though I’d somehow been found out Like he knew me How weak I was Of course, he was only talking about my ability as a pilot in the sky But I knew it was meant for me to hear those words

“Never run the ship into irons” That’s nautical terms for not sailing the boat directly into the wind In order to do that though, you have to know where the wind is coming from And you might not have time to look up to the mast, Or up further to the weathervane So you have to feel where the wind is coming from On your cheeks, and by the tips of the white waves from which direction they’re rolling To do this, he gave me an exercise He told me to close my eyes, and asked me to feel on my neck which way the wind was blowing I already knew I was going to get it wrong “The wind is coming from everywhere, I feel it all over” I told him “No”, he said “the wind is coming from the left. The portside” I sat waiting for him to tell me “You don’t trust yourself” But he didn’t, so I said it for him “I don’t trust myself” He laughed gentler than the pilot, but still not realising that my failure in the exercise was hitting me at a much deeper level “It’s not that you don’t trust yourself” he said. “it’s simply that you’re not a captain. It isn’t what you do” Then he told me he wanted me to practise everyday so I would get better “Which grocery store do you go to?” he asked “To the Ralphs in the Palisades” I replied “Okay. When you’re in the Ralphs in the Palisades, I want you, as you're walking from your car to the store, To close your eyes, and feel which way the wind is blowing Now, I don’t want you to look like a crazy person crouching in the middle of the parking lot, but everywhere you go, I want you to try and find which way the wind is coming in from And then, determine if it’s from the port or starboard side, So when you’re back on the boat you have a better sense of it” I thought his advice was adorable I could already picture myself in the parking lot, Squinting my eyes with perfect housewives looking on I could picture myself growing a better sense of which way the wind was blowing And as I did, a tiny bit of deeper trust also began to grow within myself I thought of mentioning it, but I didn’t Because captain’s aren’t like poets They don’t make metaphors between sea and sky And as I thought that to myself, I realized that’s why I write All of this circumnavigating the earth, Was to get back to my life Six trips to the moon for my poetry to arise I’m not a captain, I’m not a pilot I write! I write
