When I Cheated and Lost (Pantoum)

wasn't meant to be
an illusion that confused us all
none of us ended up together
just broken up and ended

an illusion that confused us all
followed by sleepless nights of guilt and pain
just broken up and ended

followed by sleepless nights of guilt and pain
i didn't even trust myself
i thought my love was to good for one bed
so i hid under covers like men do

i ended up exposed and just as broken as them

though i convinced two women to trust me
none of us ended up together
i ended up exposed and just as broken as them
wasn't meant to be

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...
