Attic in the Basement
The coldest day In November isn’t marked by a temperature drop, but by the stark realization that no summer awaits us.
He embodies a museum, a vast collection of what-could-have-been meticulously curated, indifferent to the relentless march of time.
His mind paints in number—an old warehouse before 5 a.m. Rolls of shrink wraps litter the floor, pallet jacks, dollies, and box cutters at rest.…

The Raincoat // Ada Limón
When the doctor suggested surgery
and a brace for all my youngest years,
my parents scrambled to take me
to massage therapy, deep tissue work,
osteopathy, and soon my crooked spine
unspooled a bit, I could breathe again,
and move more in a body unclouded
by pain. My mom would tell me to sing
songs to her the whole forty-five minute
drive to Middle Two Rock Road and forty-
five minutes back from physical therapy.
She’d say, even my voice sounded unfettered
by my spine afterward. So I sang and sang,
because I thought she liked it. I never
asked her what she gave up to drive me,
or how her day was before this chore. Today,
at her age, I was driving myself home from yet
another spine appointment, singing along
to some maudlin but solid song on the radio,
and I saw a mom take her raincoat off
and give it to her young daughter when
a storm took over the afternoon. My god,
I thought, my whole life I’ve been under her
raincoat thinking it was somehow a marvel
that I never got wet.

To everyone saying that I’m destroying my books by annotating them, have you considered that they destroyed me first?
Perhaps I am not bringing my pen and marker into innocent books. Perhaps this is revenge.

I wear my backpack slung over one shoulder not for any practical reason but because it makes me feel like a lone wanderer walking through realms unknown to those who live stagnant and oof ouch my shoulder hurts

I've never been comfortable in a bikini at all. It would be really cool to wear one in public in case a girl with scoliosis were to see me and notice, and decide she is okay with wearing a bikini too, which is why I don't shave my armpits. In hopes some girl will see and decide that it's a stupid social construct. I feel like I would need a cool bikini in order to pull this off
