ok you jabronis

i know i know i know
you didn’t “like” my last post
cause the chalamet stuff was
too fresh and you have an
online image to maintain

and i know i know i know
“likes” aren’t even the
currency of the people
anymore baby it’s all
about whatever it’s all
about now, baby

and maybe you didn’t even
see it cause you were out in
nature or reading a book or
going to the opera or ballet (jk)

or maybe chalamet was
shadowbanned by the
manisphere for not having
the right kind of goatee

or maybe just maybe my
therapist is onto something
when she says my writing has
“taken a severe turn but the earth
is a sphere so there’s nothing
keeping it from swinging back around”

regardless, we’re still turning these mushrooms
every fu***ng day. and because of this
they look like circus tents.
and we can all agree:
that’s psychedelic and cool.
and cass and kristen and lyla took
that motif and brought it to life.
and life, itself, is fragile & scary & sad
but we wouldn’t know how to identify
any of those sensations
if it weren’t also sometimes really good
and we wouldn’t know how
to articulate any of this loneliness
if weren’t also sometimes really full of love

so stop worrying so much about your online image
and have a bowl of mashed potatoes with your buds

there are so many wonderful places to dine in this town. sometimes it’s cause you just gotta eat. sometimes you may long for a sliver of escapism. sometimes you just want to spend an evening with the people you love most over a table full of food. whatever your reason, thank you for occasionally sharing it with us these last 9 years. it’s been fun
