“Find out what makes you kinder, what opens you up and brings out the most loving, generous, and unafraid version of you―and go after those things as if nothing else matters. Because, actually, nothing does.”

— George Saunders (via mishproductions)

No easy solutions

Lovely, intelligent, witty female friend, have known her since we were at uni. Married, for 40+ years, to opinionated, self-important, sexist, know-all man. He goes wherever she goes (“couples stay together”), so there’s little chance of having as much as a coffee without him.

Each year I tell myself I don’t want to lose her. And each year I have to force myself not to be rude when he starts mansplaining and blowing his horn. Putting a contract out on him = desirable, but somewhat unfeasible. Telling her that I want to see her unencumbered = tactless. Resigning myself to seeing less and less of her = probably unavoidable.

What would Flint do? Kick him out of town. What would Ryan (Death Rides a Horse) do? Ditto. What would Silver do? Tell him that someone in Rome has suggested he be appointed Minister of Education.

I am sick of writing this poem
but bring the boy. his new name

his same old body. ordinary, black
dead thing. bring him & we will mourn
until we forget what we are mourning

& isn’t that what being black is about?
not the joy of it, but the feeling

you get when you are looking
at your child, turn your head,
then, poof, no more child.

that feeling. that’s black.

think: once, a white girl

was kidnapped & that’s the Trojan war.

later, up the block, Troy got shot
& that was Tuesday. are we not worthy

of a city of ash? of 1000 ships
launched because we are missed?

always, something deserves to be burned.
it’s never the right thing now a days.

I demand a war to bring the dead boy back
no matter what his name is this time.

I at least demand a song. a song will do just fine.

look at what the lord has made.
above Missouri, sweet smoke.
