sweet mercy this caprese salad is the best decision I’ve ever made
I was getting ready to be mad at this and then I read it
"Sometimes I’m terrified of my heart; of its constant hunger for whatever it is it wants. The way it stops and starts."
Edgar Allan Poe
Grasshopper - Jeanne Murray Walker
When I come upon the grasshopper
on the porch, he lies nose down,
silent, looking not like a body
so much as some great damage,
like a car wreck. But I know
it wasn’t an accident. Deciding
it needed to be done was the hard part.
He thought about it for a long time.
He loved his leg. But it was broken
and how could he grow another
until he got rid of the first?
One morning, he felt a tickle
he knew might be the new leg
trying to sprout. Carefully, he
pulled out of his long grief
and took the first bite.
In a review mentioning this poem, Thom Satterlee quite rightly calls Grasshopper ”an extraordinarily lucid modern-day parable.”
Since I moved into my current apartment, 100% of my roommates have gotten engaged to their boyfriends. Now I don’t mean to brag, but I’ve been taking a lot of statistics courses and I’ve learned a few things about correlation…
so… when can we move in together? ;)
Immediately!
Northwest - Stacie Cassarino
I admit, I am afraid of isolation,
and of the way the land breaks off here
into pieces,
and of the woman who says forever
moving her tongue along my skin
like she means it.
If I believe her, I will suffer.
If I don’t believe her, I will suffer.
Who has never wanted to be unneeding?
One year since I’ve seen the mountains
or had proof love could be enough.
The mind loves hope.
Dumb heart, come down from the walnut tree.
All the distance is ultimately a lie.
In Alaska, the heart was a fourteen-pound King.
In Seattle, she held a fishing pole to the sky.
She waited.
I will remember this version of me.
I will remember loganberry, fishscales, the future,
the letter that says: love can sidewind.
Dear god, it is years since I’ve prayed.
I understand the birds are holy.
I understand the body leads us to love, or
this is one way of knowing the world.

WHY ARE THERE ONLY 2 IN ILLINOIS?! WHY ARE THERE NONE IN CALIFORNIA?! NOOOOOOOOOOO
WHAT IS A WAFFLE HOUSE
THERE ARE PLACES THAT DON’T HAVE WAFFLE HOUSES………….
I could feel my worldview physically shift just now
Georgia is apparently hogging them all I mean 381 holy shittt
the fuck do you mean there’s only 64 in kentucky there’s like 13 per block in lexington
That’s not even an exaggeration I pass about 12 on my way to work every morning.
Yeah I live in Atlanta, there is literally one within a half mile of every single highway exit. For every single highway. And then there are often some at busy intersections.
Get it, home state.
My dad and I like to go out to breakfast together when I’m home visiting. We’ll go to Waffle House and I’ll order a giant plate of hashbrowns and a pecan waffle, and we’ll catch up on each other’s lives. And those are some of the best mornings ever.

i just want a warm body to lay beside me and tell me how nice my eyebrows are
This… has happened to me recently.
