AGAINST POETRY
every time someone writes about morning light
i want to break something
fuck your sensitive observations
about kitchen objects
fuck your meaningful silences
your pregnant pauses
your weighted moments
fuck your birds
especially your birds
every single goddamn bird
if i see one more poem about
watching dust motes in sunbeams
i'm burning the whole house down
no more cups of tea holding memories
no more screen doors in summer
no more walking at dawn
no more watching your grandmother's hands
you're not allowed to mention:
windows
light through windows
rain on windows
anything reflected in windows
anything seen through windows
or any fucking windows at all
no more empty rooms
filled with echoes of what used to be
no more objects holding the weight
of everything that's passed between us
if you write about the quality
of the darkness
i will find you
no more subtle metaphors
no more deep significance
no more finding meaning
in ordinary things
and if you dare
to write about writing poetry
i swear to god
just say the thing
or shut up

STEM MAJORS: Learn to code, you losers!
AI: don’t mind if I do
STEM MAJORS: oh fuck
LIT MAJORS: hehe this could not be more
AI: Ironic? Karmic justice? Hoist on their own petard?
LIT MAJORS: oh fuck

this has been my experience more times than I'd like to admit!
one thing that's helped is sitting w/ someone I trust who cares about me, talking through the situation, getting their help in writing it
I also wrote up a lot of ways of navigating it! roamresearch.com/#/app/HowTo…

better parallel:
you and your crewmates are shipwrecked, and need to jump overboard all at once, onto one of two available life rafts
if > 50% of people jump onto the red raft, it will swing and puncture a hole in the blue one. everyone who jumped on the blue one will then die

“I forget things at times”
vs
“I forget things while thinking about them, 80 times an hour and cannot put the patterns of everyday life together”
however, if you overshare they will call you a freak.
if you undershare they will tell you to simply meditate or something.

favorite answer, I do think there is something unique here happening along these lines
"TPOT: creating and inhabiting attitudes and mental/spiritual postures that enable useful and novel interpretations of <stuff>"
