This is why people who claim to be on the Left should seriously not see themselves as being immune to the Nazi bar.

The Year of the Nose Nail

Sun times soul is dice
Ski times sofa is leech
Soap times DNA is beef
Soap plus dice is tuba

Arch divided by Nemo is Sun
Sun divided by sun is seed
Sumo times sushi is tv
Nacho letters in the alphabet

Ink divided by soap is sumo
Mouse divided by sushi is soul

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

I mean
Dans des cahiers tout rapiécés Qui gardent en vie qui gardent fou À force de trop vouloir tout faire J'viens qu'j'me reconnais pus Comme une girouette qui cherche le Nord En dessous du chapeau In patched-up notebooks That keep alive, those that keep crazy By dint of wanting to do everything too much I just don't recognize myself anymore Like a weather vane looking for the North Under the hat À force de trop vouloir tout faire J'viens qu'j'me reconnais pus Comme une girouette qui cherche le Nord En dessous du chapeau y'a l'bardeau d'prit au vent Un vent d'printemps By trying to do everything too much I just don't recognize myself anymore Like a weather vane looking for the North Under the hat there's the shingle caught in the wind A spring breeze

Look,
Bob Dylan 12 sur son sofa La tête d'Hiroshima J'écris des tounes juste quand j'ai l'temps Pis ça arrive pas souvent Fac j'me met dans marde jusqu'au cou Pour patcher des trous English Bob Dylan 12 on his sofa Hiroshima's head I write songs only when I have time And it doesn't happen often So l get myself up to my neck in shit To patch holes Bob Dylan 12 sur son sofa La tête d'Hiroshima J'écris des tounes juste quand j'ai l'temps Pis ça arrive pas souvent Fac j'me met dans marde jusqu'au cou Pour patcher des trous English Bob Dylan 12 on his sofa Hiroshima's head I write songs only when I have time And it doesn't happen often So l get myself up to my neck in shit To patch holes Tantôt ce sera pas beau En dessous du chapeau Si j'ai juste d'ouvrage la moitié d'l'année ben l'reste du temps j'peux souffler English It won't be pretty soon Under the hat If I only have work half the year well, the rest of the time I can breathe Souffler pour penser Pis penser aux trous Les trous de mémoire l'vide à combler Pis toutes les idées floues Dans des cahiers tout rapiécés Qui gardent en vie qui gardent fou English Breathe to think And think about the gaps Memory gaps, the void to fill And all the fuzzy ideas In patched-up notebooks That keep alive, that keep crazy

I see what the song is called and I hear the organ but this makes me think a lot more about Walter Salas-Humara and Bob Rupe than anyone else youtu.be/Y0Cjdx9b9YM

“Ethics” by Kyla Houbolt, from her forthcoming book, *Becoming Altar* asterismbooks.com/product/beco... @luaz.bsky.social
Ethics Is it ethical to be a frog when the snow is on the ground? To be a frog in winter, in a sound mind and body of amphibious elegance? It isn't right! sing the bugs in their dens, we never got a chance to have amphibious elegance, we only got chitinous chic which is far far less groovy. The bugs grouse among themselves, crowding the rotting tree trunks, clicking and whirring and taking committee votes. But the unconcerned frog, who is not hungry for bug at the moment, casts no stones. There is no call to fiddle with all them bugs! thinks the frog to itself, preening in its winter mudhole. Meanwhile, Creator, in the form of Raven, listens in with amusement. None of these creatures knows what's to come, or how blessed their lives are. Though that smug frog might need to be taken down a peg or two, he thinks. Maybe it's time to send in the crows. And of course the poets are listening to all this, and each one is writing notes, and all the notes are different. This is the blessing and the curse of poetry: that it never agrees and that it never agrees. Ethics? Maybe in the spaces between.
