The First Time ≠ The Next Time

xaxhxcx

The first time I say hello

I don’t smile

That’s interests you

And I know it does

So you’ll come back

Next time I say hello

I smile

I add conversation

To confirm you are in fact
The type to want a chase

I shouldn’t, but I want that too

Yet I don’t want to face

The part of me that wants you to chase

The me that knows how to finally manipulate

The trait I have that controls my gait
That keeps your gaze

So what I’m trying to say
Is this is not for you
But for the you that was before,

And this is (for now)

The first.

The First time I’ll say goodbye
&

The Last time I’ll say hello

To the part of me that I’m ready to let go

One report from Bank of America suggested that the collapse in value was the fifth-worst for any asset in financial history. Despite steady gains this year, it hasn’t even come close to its November 2021 peak, and now things are about to get shaken up like a bead in a baby’s rattle w...

Ari Aster's Families On The Fritz

In Ari Aster’s 2016 short film C’est La Vie, Chester Crummings, a homeless man, speaks directly and combatively to camera about his life and society at large as he wanders the streets of LA, surviving, begging for change and casually murdering people. At one point, he says: “You know what Freud says about the nature of horror? He says it’s when the home becomes unhomelike. Unheimlich.” In Sig...
