Is Art Resistance? Can You Plant A Garden To Stop A War? It Depends How You Think About Time. It Depends

Is art resistance? Can you plant a garden to stop a war? It depends how you think about time. It depends what you think a seed does, if it’s tossed into fertile soil. But it seems to me that whatever else you do, it’s worth tending to paradise, however you define it and wherever it arises.

— Olivia Laing, from Funny Weather

Why don’t we just set off? nothing we do will be enough.

if you ever were the real deal

Then I would have known it by now

Your nightmare, it will haunt

Never seemed like me, never indeed

one lifeless dream, one breath ceased, empty

Let me see what happens

I dried like fruit under the sun

my high hopes, they created themselves

an ugly subtle reflection of you

I tried to wait out see where it'd move

if it doesn't, then I'm stuck

in unfettered visions.

-s's.

why do I never admit what I will someday? make a lie for myself in a horrible way and I wouldn't like to watch you come tumbling too with some bleak misfortune, staring in silent rooms

/I want.../(porcelain clash)/

I want to do what I used to do last

kept once, stored up, among the cupboard's real glass stash

(a porcelain clash)

must recover, carried to a glowing life bed

little scenes and pieces of the

audio visual cool girl

scatter into the screen

with hues of purple light blinding her machines

paths and documents and crowds and rejections

brilliantly laid out, a world of nonfiction

will she ever surmount to the crazy idle teen

but I know most times it never hurts for her to try, however alone she might be

I fell,
