Everything we want

will require unfathomable violence.

– a fake quote on the internet

Follow an impulse,

and then build rightness around it. 

– Jia Tolentino, After a Year Without Crowds, Caroline Polachek Takes the Stage, describing Dubner Maggid's fable – "First I shoot the arrow, then I draw the target."

Waiting for the algorithm

to find me.

Words fail us.

 Only words will save us.

Like a dagger

through the heart of man.

The petty allure

of dissatisfaction.

Monument

to misery.
