“I couldn’t find the light switches, and I forgot how to make food, so I ate cheese slices in the dark. No, it wasn’t that bad. I ate cheese slices in the moonlight.”
Richard Siken, “On Perplexity: Chrysanthemum” in Poetry Magazine, October 2023
#richard siken#this particular line had me in tears#just reminded me very specifically of a few months ago#standing in the kitchen in my underwear at 1am eating takeout straight from the carton#the motion light from the church across the street shining directly into my apartment#sometimes the thing that's terrible also isn't that bad#it's as awful as it is mundane#anyway!
