you jerk you didn’t call me up (bernadette mayer)
![Sonnet] You jerk you didn't call me up
BY BERNADETTE MAYER

You jerk you didn't call me up
I haven't seen you in so long
You probably have a fucking tan
& besides that instead of making love tonight
You're drinking your parents to the airport
I'm through with you bourgeois boys
All you ever do is go back to ancestral comforts
Only money can get—even Catullus was rich but
Nowadays you guys settle for a couch
By a soporific color cable t.v. set
Instead of any arc of love, no wonder
The G.I. Joe team blows it every other time
Wake up! It's the middle of the night
You can either make love or die at the hands of the Cobra Commander](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5x4p5tgshfa7xef6f3jrv34h/bafkreidhkxophamwcijrapfjmi22albprvkbypkbsjhgx6n7njl4fpkiei@jpeg)

some 70s new york guy (forgetting who, gary indiana maybe?) observed that stimulant addicts love mirrors and glass, anything reflective or shiny, and that this explained the decor at warhol’s factory

Getting the sense that the block-long line in front of the Soho New York or Nowhere store is mostly comprised of people from “nowhere”

not that we really expected more from them but they really twitterfied substack and it basically killed any opportunity for a platform of independent writing of any kind in favor of everyone pretending to be a lower manhattan coquette

there should be about 5 to 6 times as many magazines as there currently are for criticism and they should all pay on average 2 to 3 times as much as they currently do, and it should be easier to write for them. without that i think american literary culture is gonna continue to feel weirdly stagnant
