"Oranges" - Gary Soto, June 1983

one of my very favorite poems. that last line slays me. it has stayed with me for years and years.

i love how monkey is afraid but he can't deal with that feeling of a lack of power so he just laughs and thinks it away by rehearsing tonights domestic abuse in his mind. his fear of not being able to control bear (the person he exploits to avoid having to be exploited himself, he relies on her both for a sense of control over his miserable life and to be able to eat something without subjecting himself to the same humiliation) is something he hides even from himself in private because it's more satisfying to think about how disgusting she is, how stupid she is to not even realize that, and how he is going to make her small. he has to remind himself how obscene and ugly she must be out there in the caves bathing.. if she enjoys it that's just proof of how stupid she is because it's actually disgusting. she thinks she likes it but she doesn't know what's good for her. monkey would never do that

There’s something so evil about making me choose between Eartheater and Weyes Blood, there should be a faggy consulting overseer that approves all concert scheduling in London. I’m gonna see Eartheater because I’ve seen WB before but now I will have such a sense of loss knowing I’m missing out…

I always thought that when people said that relationships are really hard they meant that people fight a lot. But now that im finally loved truthly and fully i think they actually mean that when youre finally feeling safe and loved, all of your past trauma's come out for you to face them.

Being in this rich (but really quite poor) city makes me want so many things I never used to want. The village within London in which you live means everything. A balcony means people can smoke at your dinner party. I won't have enough space at the new flat to have get-togethers like before. I can't afford new sneakers and I've been throwing out so many socks with holes, I have to do the laundry just for clean socks. But the thing I've been thinking about is, I mustn't have everything I want now. One day, I might have a balcony, and a living room for a decent party. And money to travel, and new sneakers, and socks that are still soft. And I will think back to being 24 and recall, "I had very little, but I was beautiful and energetic and young". If I had everything now, what could I look forward to? One day I will be less beautiful (in that common sense) and less energetic and less young, but I might have copper pots and records I dream of having and a place to sit in the sun. And I'll know I once had some things and now I have other things.

I haven’t gotten into an artist in awhile that I felt none of my friends would like and it’s so lonely. I’m obsessed with Katie Jane Garside and her bands (especially Queenadreena) and I want to talk about her so bad but I know any of my friends would hear her screeching and be like 😄 oh okay
