'Don’t leave your room…' by Joseph Brodsky - Modern Poetry in Translation
Translation and introduction by Alexandra Berlina
Poem of the decade is still by Brodsky:
Don’t be an imbecile! Be what the others couldn’t be.
Don’t leave the room! Let furniture keep you company,
vanish, merge with the wall, barricade your iris
from chronos, eros, cosmos, logos, virus.

I like the fact that Bluesky doesn’t seem to aspire to something “better” than twitter as a community

This was the juiciest melon I have ever had, but if they could drop the price to $30 from $100 at the cost of making it less perfectly round, then it would make it a good melon
