Yesterday a colleague with knowledge of my history called me a “psychopath” because I sent around an email saying I wasn’t available for a call. I’m kind of the opposite of a psychopath. I feel like that’s the thing that pisses me off the most, the fucking inaccuracy.

from "Winter Math"

On winter days
my ankle is a lake of snow, blue, deep, cold and ravenous, a school of tiny fish that rise now and then to sip the air but never take the line for fear it's baited.

Documentary art of every kind, including poetry, is necessary. Someone needs to record what's happening.

This is just to say

I have eaten
the swans
that were in
the duck pond

and which
you were probably
saving
for the King

Forgive me
they were delicious
so white
and so necky

Point of Stasis | Jennifer A Sutherland | $ – Poetry Is Currency I am waiting at the foot of the concrete steps beneath my neighbor’s   maple tree. Every day we walk to school together in these pleated skirts,   cardigan sweaters,…

The boys wear

creased trousers and clip-on polyester ties they
tear off when the bell

rings at lunchtime. Then they wriggle
on the blacktop

like earthworms drying up.

This $ deep cut is "Point of Stasis" by @jasutherland.bsky.social!
