i’d rather be consumed by moss // washington, spring 2024

We were were friends once. Though we may even at times ebb into being earth enemies, I still believe in our interstellar friendship. Consolation and laughter whenever we come to port, though our ships often depart. Is it folly to see our deeds one day amidst the stars, even though we may even exchange cannon fire? Though I never see our friendship as adversarial, I likely would never want a greater enemy: one that I could have so much love for in the same breath.

Even though we may both be at sea, at odds and ultimately on our own adventures, I long for the siren call of us being at port, once more, sharing tale and grog.

Perhaps we were once ships that shared a harbor.

But not all vessels are meant to dock twice.

You speak of interstellar bonds and cannon fire as though distance and friction are poetry. For me, they were weight. They were noise. They were lessons learned the hard way.

If our ships no longer come to port, it is not by accident nor by tide. It is by design. I have chosen calmer waters. Waters where my boundaries are not tested like storm sails, where my time is not treated as an endless sea to be sailed at will.

It is not folly to remember what once was.

But it would be folly to ignore why it ended.

I do not wish you ill winds.

I simply wish you a different horizon.

I had to look this up; the kid's name is Olly Pearson, and he's from Wales! He is 11 (!) years old and was on Britain's Got Talent this year. (He finished fourth.) He's on YouTube as Guitar Olly.

The lead singer is Mickey Callisto (he took his stage last name from one of the moons of Jupiter), who was also on BGT. (He made it to the semi-finals.) He's from Sunderland in the UK.

The trio in the window are DDKN, a group from France. I can't add fun facts here because duckduckgo gave me nothing. Rude honestly.

The flashmob video on youtube is mostly the same as the tiktok but it's still fun to watch bigger.

And now you know. the rest. of the story.
