My toes carry the weight of my feet,
My feet carry the weight of my ankles.
My ankles carry the weight of my calve,
My calf carries the weight of my knee,
My knee carries the weight of my thigh.
My thigh carries the weight of my hips,
My hips carry the weight of waist,
My waist carries the weight of my back and spine,
My spine carries the weight of my shoulders,
My shoulders carry the weight of my neck,
My neck carries the weight of my skull,
My skull carries the weight of my brain,
My brain carries the weight of my thoughts.

They think I’m crazy

First Starlight of Summer
Your whole being is constituted by yearning. You miss the stars but have never seen a fully-realized night sky sparkle to life before your eyes. You write things, funny but short but profound, emulating the archaic cosmos that turns by its own unknowable calculus emulating love in all its celestial glory turning in that same cryptic way, but fully know neither and hardly know both, and it feels disingenuous, so you write about writers. It feels vaguely masturbatory, but it’s funny but short but profound and it impresses the people around you enough, so you run with it forever until you can’t anymore.
