And My Knee

OEDIPUS THE KING OR BURGER KING

I think it’s exponential,

But I don’t know,

When it comes to wanting more.

I KNOW A GAME WE CAN PLAY

Everybody lines up.

Then the first two step forward

And they battle.

MAHMOOD

We tried to tell him

But he wouldn’t listen.

SHOULD BE

As far as I know.

Hey everybody.

Thank you all so much.

Choice Bits from Holiday Reading

 Clap When You Land, by Elizabeth Acevedo

“Once you lift a pawn off the board,

You have to move it forward. It cannot return where it was.”

The Chiffon Trenches, by Andre Leon Talley

“She read it overnight and the next morning said, ‘This is wonderful.’ To celebrate she threw a black-tie dinner in my honor on a Monday evening at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.”

Zero K, by Don DeLillo

“His beard came spilling out of his face.”

The Winter’s Tale, by William Shakespeare

“You have touch’d his queen

Forbiddenly.

Come, sir, away!”

Exuent

I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter, by Erika L. Sanchez

“...like she’s ready to stab someone.”

“...looking like I worship Satan”

“I’ll just jump off a skyscraper.”

“...a pair of shoes that cost more than my entire life.”

“I was so bored I wanted to tear out all of my hair.”

A Tale for the Time Being, by Ruth Ozeki

“Mujii sang an R. Kelly number called ‘I Believe I Can Fly,’ but when she sang it it sounded like ‘I Bereave I Can Fry,’ which totally cracked me up.”

Look at it This Way

My mind is a mountain bike

On a super narrow bridge

Above an ultra deep ravine.

My head is in a snow globe,

My ass is in a sling,

My plan is about to renew.

It’s a closed system.

Perfectly balanced.

And all the longitudinal data I deserve.

Time is locally sourced.

Everything is beautiful (in its own special way).

There is no “A” in remote.

Look at it this way.

I tell myself.

Get prepared, worry less.

Hit play.

Watch.

See why.
