when bjork said “you’ll be given love, you’ll be taken care of. maybe not from the sources you’ve poured yours. maybe not from the direction you are staring at. twist your head around. it’s all around u” SHE WAS RIGHT!!!!!! 

we all bounce from media hyperfixation to media hyperfixation but we retain our Types of character who we consistently become obsessed with

leave me alone

i’m thinking about a fictional character and i’m gonna make it everyone else’s problem

just write a shitty poem, what do you have to lose

I am finally reading Working On A Song and I sadly don’t think I’ll ever make peace with how much great poetry— and Anaïs knew it was great poetry— was reduced to appeal to the lowest common denominator. I know Broadway is a business and so it had to be done. I will never be angry at anyone involved in changing it but I will miss what was lost in bringing it to the world at large. For me Hadestown will always be a campfire and moonlight, story-in-poem-and-song where two lovers are drawn together because he is Orpheus and she is Eurydice and that is the way of the universe. That is the essence I wish to access— and of course, for those who aren’t interested in poetic abstraction, me sticking by it can’t take away the parts that you loved! Forgive my incoherence I’m sleepy and I love art.

Addendum: I also deeply believe that they could have had a more innocent, sensitive Orpheus and maintained his political counterculturalism. This is one non-poetry-vs.-demonstration related written changes that I really haven’t warmed up to. You can be sensitive and shy and gentle and still speak up about the evils you see in the world and seek to change them!

i think a society failed its youth if they feel old (derogatory) at 20
