hot take but the new world is as old as the old world

smilodon probably wasn’t smiling

i can’t ride a bike

the rosetta stone isn’t worth reading

i could beat carroll baker in a fist fight

i can eat more bricks than the average victorian orphan

alexander the great is just alex from accounting to me

the great hunger wouldn’t have happened if i was around

i have decided to become famous so i will start posting problematic things to be unearthed in ten years

pauline oliveros teaches at camp rock, circa 2008

my grandfather remembers to breathe moss

deep at sea with breakheads
remembering to dethrone mountains
sweetened condensed milk thick on his tongue

he sees the orkneys lost in a pacific haze
been too long since he felt cold
saw jagged coast embrace

sputtering starlight of marrow
in his bones
