“The sea said goodbye to the shore so the sun wouldn’t notice/
The seaweed...”
– Sloom (Of Monsters and Men)
a poem.
Whispers abound
through work-weary thoughts
and silent hopes for the future
but even a long drive on that silver street lined with starlit secrets
won’t stir you
Sleep my child,
sleep while you can
under stars bursting asunder amidst the order of the universe.
You are ignorant and forgetful of
the moments that have passed
and are about to
So rest while you can.
When you awaken,
May your eyes...
a poem.
What is it about touch that’s so inviting?
The warmth? The emotion? The sense of belonging?
Whence age-old drama and trauma came:
‘tis here where the meadowlark sang and the nightingale weeped
‘twas here whence your hand brushed against mine.
Your face swelled pink and your lips curled into an O
And I smiled, despite myself.
Isn’t it funny, I thought, that so much burden could be put on bones so...

Dear world,
Humans are like crayons, some are sharp, some are dull, some are pretty, some are boring but all are different colours and they all have to live in the same box.

the ragbag: some peculiar halloween customs →
ragbag:
On Halloween hang an apple by the door just the height of the chin. Rub the chin with saliva, stand about six inches from the apple, and hit the chin against the apple. If it sticks to the chin, you will be married, and your true love will stick to you.
On Halloween a girl is to go through a…

On Monday, I got a haircut
and the lady there who was trying to make casual conversation with me first asked me how I wanted my hair done. Immediately after that, the default question she asked was as follows: “do you have a boyfriend?”
This struck me as a very bad question to ask. First of all, if I do have a boyfriend, how do you know I want to discuss my relationship with you? I just met you. Your next...

Israel withdrew from the Sinai desert — which is three times the size of Israel and which provided it with strategic protection — because Egyptian President Anwar Sadat convinced the Israeli public he was serious about peace. And when Eastern European and many...
