Literary agent. It’s a lifestyle. It’s a delusion.

The bag is lying deflated on the ground as the cat runs downtown to on a fresh adventure.

You loved the White Lotus season 3 ending. You hated the White Lotus season 3 ending. All *I* care about is that there can be peace in my house again now that we no longer need to debate whether the theme song was better with the wee woos

I was a little ghost flitting around #AWP this year. The only photo of me is this one and it’s not even at the conference. I do my best work in the background. That’s where the magic happens.

Spent a few hours today at MoMA to feel something
Lorna Simpson’s “Untitled” Three rows of framed photos on a plum wall. Each row is composed of six photos. Each photo in the top row has a box with a different word (i.g. habits, fears, desires) in burnished gold on its side. Each photo in the second row is of a person’s back in a gray suit jacket with each photo displaying a slightly different stance. Each photo in the bottom row shows a right and a left shoe that is mismatched with pronouns beneath each individual shoe ascribing a gender. Senga Nengudi’s “R.S.V.P. I.” 10 pairs of pantyhose weighted down with sand. The feet are tacked to the wall so that the legs stretch to a thin line. Richard Serra’s “Equal” 8 steel blocks stacked two by two to create a square. The structures are taller and longer than a person. John Giorno’s “Dial-A-Poem” People sit at small white desks with black corded telephones on them. On the white wall in the background the words DIAL-A-POEM and a telephone number stand out in bold, black font.

Behold my son
A freestanding planter with grass growing exuberantly out of its top. Except its top is actually a head with a face. Eyes turned skyward, the face sports an open mouthed expression of joy (or is it paused in a mid-scream of anguish? There’s no way to know what goes on in the mind of a planter.) Growing out of the planter’s face are legs (complete with kneecaps) and feet (complete with dirty toenails). There is nothing separating head from legs as the Lord intended.

Oh to be a little cat sharing a bed with another little cat blissfully unaware of the world outside or how rude it is to touch another person’s face without permission
