hi everyone!
thank you so much to all who came out for strike 2! the readers were amazing, the crowd overwhelming, and the downpour of rain o-so comforting. living room storytime, what?
i’ve taken some still frames from the footage and included a tidbit or two.

“Burn the rich, we’ll use them as kindling during the revolution! Man, it’s all so funny to you.”
“By dawn our throats thirst for tea steaming | from mint leaves that escape blackberry roots. | I slide from your curve, eyes round, ears alert.”
“When millions of dead seconds | mutate | into eternities of infinity | what is the color of time?”
“In the corner a man sits in a high back velvet chair, his eyes, his face occluded from the mellow gold light.”
“Someone had put a magazine clipping above the peephole in my hotel room. It read, “Look Good Naked.” So, I did.”
“You’re a forced poem | but look how you coo | saliva seeping | like pleasure weeping | from the corners | of your pouty | puffy mouth”
“She’s important | like the circumference | of the earth in one heart step, | she is.”
“Phantom pain is no joke; it feels like there are bugs on me—insects dancing, having a parade.”
“I have yet to find a tool that | could remove a complete strand | of hair. | I don’t clean these tools, | he does this before he leaves, | takes pride in it, I imagine.”
“Wait, is that what this is all about? Was I on Cops that one time?”
“This isn’t at all what i was trying to tell you stupid sons-of-bitches! I just wanted for everyone to have a constitutional right to oatmeal cookies!!”
“He is a maniac bouncing up and down on this night-time sidewalk, shouting for a man on a rowing machine that he doesn’t even know.”
“Please stop caring about the future. All you need to concentrate on is the sound of butterflies crashing into white walls and falling.”
