kafk-a:Carmen Giménez Smith [image id: the poem “like an auto-tune of authentic love” by carmen giménez smith that reads:“i’m watching an old movie in one cornerof my laptop and in another the shadowsnesting in your neck, the flickering frequenciesof your sweater, and remember the jack nicholsontagline in that movie we almost watched then decidedagainst fearing the little taser of misogyny:you make me want to be a better person. sometimesthe only thing i want is to say marry meeven though we both think marriage is archaic and weirdor at least for us. it’s not marry me i want to saybut rather weld with me like a net we also sit in.oh facetime face and shadow neck and the almost syncedsound of our shared watching. you have a list of thingsthat are going to be the death of you,and so do i, which we cover in our debriefings.all of this is to say that distance makes my heart go fartherinto the terrain of heartfelt and i love it: how ordinarilyclassifiable it is like feeling literal figurative butterfliesin your stomach. the good being fundamental.surprising love can happen at any part of one’s lifelike the pixels deciding when to flicker into bursts.”end image id] -- source link
