You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

if you are rightfully concerned if not frightened about the continued dissolution of U.S. healthcare infrastructure, would you take an action every day to resist it?

“A moral victory in the middle of the flow of time.” From Ron Padgett’s long poem, Lockdown.

It's satisfying to eat
exactly the right amount
of, say, French toast
and then stop,
for you have just
achieved a moral victory
in the middle
of the flow of time,
and though it flows away,
this victory,
you have its aftertaste,
along with butter
and genuine Vermont maple syrup
from a tree not far down the road.

happy WITCH WEDNESDAY, buy/read/review my debut novel (2023) EXIT GHOST!

queer, gender-flipped Hamlet in Asbury Park, NJ, in the post-college, post-dad-assassination flail

books2read.com/ExitGhost

jenniferrdonohue.itch.io/exit-ghost

a hardcover copy of Exit Ghost ( (Exit Ghost book cover: a black background with a wisp of smoke curling up, a sketched/stylized sun with an eye in the middle of it in the upper left corner, a sketched hand in the lower right corner wearing a ring in the first finger, with the same eye in the palm, with a single tear falling from it, "Exit Ghost" above it in a cursive/handwrite-y font, Jennifer R. Donohue to the bottom left in the same font. ) leaned against a driftwood log on Asbury Park beach, with sand and the ocean beyond, and a partially-submerged jetty of dark rocks in the water.

'I endeavor to become lichen,
or the lone mail carrier for one of those seaside towns
built into cliffs-
toned calf muscles
gleaming in my wake'

it's been a minute since i've sent/published new poems anywhere— hope you like this one, written for the At What Cost catalog's Style issue, curated by Jessica Scicchitano

ALINA PLESKOVA
FOR CONSIDERATION
I aspire to compete in the international space-out competition
which I've unwittingly trained for all this time-
tenderized by blush-hued mushrooms, elderly metalheads,
the time Rachel said the sky over the highway looked like a wrinkled sheet & Dylan said
I was just about to say that, & I didn't take a photo
because I wanted to recall it only so
My practice is rooted in wondering how the same ingenious species that invented concertos, disco balls,
& broccoli - all seemingly for the hell of it - can't endeavor to dismantle the despotic state apparatus threatening its joy & survival, or at least take cues from the birds who repurpose anti-bird spikes for nest-building
My work doesn't interrogate the tension between tempering a certain shame to make one's art more lucrative & knowing your art makes

your friends cringe
It might ask instead:
Why lower the rarified to regular volume?
Why refashion the sacred into a vibeless ornament?
A mote on the stylus of my consciousness messes with the pickup

O accolade-patterned bio-
O frosted plaque of competency-

I've sensed an emptiness at the back o
f your gaze

How else do we intend to carry out
our absurd impermanence?

I endeavor to become lichen,
or the lone mail carrier for one of those seaside towns
built into cliffs-
toned calf muscles
gleaming in my wake

my very necessary project right now is purging my phone's camera roll (sickening) and I'm doing great (thousands gone) but I draw the line at having to make decisions about photos of dogs who have died
