another poem about the heart jenn habel When the floor drops out, as it has now, you cannot hear the squirrel on the wire outside your window, the wheels spinning on the road below. You want only pity and are presented with the unbelievable effrontery of a world that moves on. But wait: this is not the person you are. You’re the kind of person who sits in dark theaters crying at the...

I watched her write. Except for being a little grimy, she looks like she has always looked. I don’t know why, but I always thought she would look different. Older. That I would barely recognize her when I finally saw her again. But there she is, and I am watching her through the Plexiglas, and she looks like Margo Roth Spiegelman, this girl I have known since I was two- this girl who was an...

“But how did we get here?” asked Milo, who was still a bit puzzled by being there at all. “You jumped, of course,” explained Canby. That’s the way most everyone gets here. It’s really quite simple: every time you decide something without having a good reason, you jump to Conclusions whether you like it or not. It’s such an easy trip to make that I’ve...
Ohhhh, to be alive in time and space, Amanda! If only those now living could recall what such a prospect once meant to them before their life began. And what it still means to multitudes in the unseen now awaiting their own initiations who, try as they may, can’t even imagine the simple ecstasy of breathing.

Maitreyi’s roommate committed suicide in her dorm over the weekend. She actually lived in my building last year, but I can’t find what floor she was on. I don’t think she was on 7N (the floor where the guy hung himself), but I wonder if that planted or sowed any seed, so to speak.
What a weird time for this to happen.
Sleeptalkin'
Me: That was good, that was good, it was pleasant.
Michael: What the fuck are you talking about?
Me: Nevermind.
Apparently we had an entire conversation all while I was asleep, and I spoke in perfect diction! Next time, I told him to pull some Freud shit on me. I used to sleep talk and sleep walk when I was little, but I thought I grew out of it. I guess I am cooler than I thought.
and I’m screaming at the top of my lungs pretending the echoes belong to someone someone I used to know

So Greg just got back from Salzburg, Vienna, and Munich today and these are three of the photos he took. Some days when things get really bad, I sit in bed all day and just go through every picture I’ve taken abroad. That’s somewhere around 3,000 photographs. I also have boxes full of stuff gathered while overseas—pastry boxes, brochures, newspapers, magazines, napkins,...
