[Photo ID - a poem called Accident Report in the Tall, Tall Weeds by Ada Limón:
When the plane went down in San Francisco, I thought of my friend M. He's obsessed with plane crashes.
He memorizes the wrecked metal details,
the clear cool skies cut by black scars of smoke.
Once, while driving, he told me about all the crashes:
The one in blue Kentucky, in yellow Iowa.
How people go on, and how people don't.
It was almost a year before I learned
that his brother was a pilot.
I can't help it,
I love the way men love.
The second image is a screenshot of a TikTok with a white guy in a black shirt and cap holding a metal rose. The caption reads: "My brother welded his girlfriend a rose because she loves roses but doesn't like how they die."
The third image is a Tweet from annie✨️ (nightshiftmp3) that reads "just found out the dude who invented goldfish crackers made them in the shape of a fish bc his wife was a pisces and he wanted to make smth for her.....love is stored in the goldfish cracker"
The fourth image is an excerpt from The Clean House by Sarah Ruhl:
"There was once a very great American surgeon named Halsted. He was married to a nurse. He loved her immeasurably. One day Halsted noticed that his wife's hands were chapped and red when she came back from surgery. And so he invented rubber gloves. For her. It is one of the great love stories in medicine. The difference between inspired medicine and uninspired medicine is love.
I loved her to the point of invention."
The last 10 images are screenshots from Tumblr. The first one reads: "My dad made a miniature rake for me when I was younger because I was putting together a zen garden and couldn't find a rake small enough. I don't know how long it took, he just went in the workshed for a bit and then brought it to me. It's been probably...eight years? the sand and shells and rocks are all long gone, but the rake is on my bookshelf."
