Canadian writer Corey Doctorow takes credit for coining the word "enshittification," but "emmerdements" appeared in the French song "Je Bois" on a 1953 album by Boris Vian. It was a song about drinking to forget.

bus stop with the Fates
plastic bench, cold rain
schedule eaten by mildew
buses not on time
three old women wait
one knits, one counts, one keeps still
eyes on passing cars
whichever I board
they nod once and snip the air
as if at a thread

"She's a big lass and a bonny lass and she likes her beer
And they call her Cushie Butterfield and I wish she was here."
It's listed on the lyric sheet of the Mudcat Cafe as "A parody of a music hall hit."

Was there ever a better symbolic combined argument for
1. vegetarianism, and
2. abolition of the death penalty
than the Pardoning of the Turkeys?

Habitation
Marriage is not
a house or even a tent
it is before that, & colder:
the edge of the forest,
the desert
the edge of the receding glacier
where painfully & with wonder
at having survived even
this far
we are learning to make fire
#poem excerpt: Margaret Atwood
