Luke Kennard, "Notes on the Sonnets," no. 150
‘O! from what power hast thou this powerful might’ (150) The sun’s coming up but it’s still dark. I stop trying to explain that I’m not a landlord. I look up “where to buy window hinges” on my phone. What we’re dealing with here is a dangerous lack of self-awareness, which is what happens when you start to believe in your own innocence. A refusal to negotiate. You were trying to help someone but it was a glutinous, mushy kind of help and now you are backing away with your hands up and now you are a wolf. The fact is, nobody gets it right. The fact is, your people are angry, a leopard is watching their cities. The fact is a persistent imago. You don’t get to control that. I set up a table by the broken window and the beleaguered tenants form a queue. What are the soul’s borders? It’s like an answer on Jeopardy but you only just switched it on. Such and such things. We love you. The more of your flaws we become aware of the more we love you. But stop coughing up blood, it’s embarrassing.

I always thought this Bacon painting could've been a Reagan portrait.

What were four albums that dropped when you were in high school that influenced your music taste forever?
Rickie Lee Jones' first album cover featuring the singer with head thoughtfully bowed, long brown hair under a red beret, smoking a cheroot. Talking Heads album cover for Remain in Light featuring the band name across the top in capital letters with the As inverted, the faces of the four band members obscured with red "heat map" blotches, and the name of the album in small capital letters across the bottom. The Steely Dan album cover for Aja depicts a woman with Chinese features mostly obscured by shadow except for her nose, cheek, and mouth in profile, with a dangling red and white scarf or narrow banner hanging straight down from her collar. The name "aja" is in red script letters at top right, with the band name in white capital letters just below. Todd Rundgren's Healing album cover with a backlit, outlined bowed head (likely Rundgren himself) apparently receiving a blessing from a hand just above it. (The cover is a visual allusion to the back cover of Laura Nyro's album Eli and the Thirteenth Confessions; Rundgren cited Nyro as a strong influence on his early songwriting.)

Mark Kelly's response on X was good.
