A haiku for (almost) everyone I've ever kissed

“You wanted to be A rule breaker. I wanted to be In love with anyone” “Sometimes you find out Watching movies together Is not the real deal”

“It was your birthday Everyone kissed you. Even The boys in the room”

“We did not love each Other. Or at least I didn’t Have feelings for you.”

“I made you cookies But somehow you did not want To fall for me”

“I wanted to go You did not want me to leave It was not okay”

“A hundred thousand Dollars would not even be Enough to be ‘us’”

“Didn’t understand My insecurities masked All my desires”

“You wanted to fall I wanted to fall with you We never stood up”

“We won’t work today And not even tomorrow But some day maybe”

“We liked to pretend That we were meant to save each Other. We were not.”

Yayoi Kusama

I’m here but nothing

Yayoi Kusama began hallucinating spots atop the surfaces of her world at a young age. In these dots, at once simple and boundless, Kusama found a way to break away from the self and look into infinity.

Maybe I hope this time is different. for consistency's sake, maybe I hope it's the same.

Today marks the 26th anniversary of the École Polytechnique massacre, in Montreal, Canada. A cowardly, misogynic act which left 14 promising women dead, simply because they were women:

Twenty-five-year-old Marc Lépine, armed with a Mini-14 rifle and a hunting knife, shot 28 people, killing 14 women, before committing suicide. He began his attack by entering a classroom at the university, where he separated the male and female students. After claiming that he was “fighting feminism” and calling the women “a bunch of feminists,” he shot all nine women in the room, killing six. He then moved through corridors, the cafeteria, and another classroom, specifically targeting women to shoot. Overall, he killed fourteen women and injured ten other women and four men in just under 20 minutes before turning the gun on himself.[1][2] His suicide note claimed political motives and blamed feminists for ruining his life. The note included a list of 19 Quebec women whom Lépine considered to be feminists and apparently wished to kill.[3]

After this despicable act, Canada adopted gun control measures. Since gun control measures were adopted there has not been another mass shooting killing more than 10 people in Canada. Since École Polytechnique there has only been 9 massacres in Canada; 9 in 26 years.

Please remember these women.
