He cuts their throats

Anonymous: What are your current obsessions?

Oo, I like you, anon.
Let’s see — where to start.

Ah yes: Rosie.

D.H. Lawrence, statues, Taoism, monarchism, WWI, Wilfred Owen, Baths, war poetry, creative non-fiction and non-fiction, Grimes (very recently), hazel nut cream (for coffee), Reddit (I’ve been using it more often now than ever), poetry/slam poetry, revolution (Sao Paolo and Turkey), Mr. Rogers (it’s always nice to revisit things from our childhoods), longer books, my bookshelf, getting hired (gonna be a waiter at a diner here at my local nursing home; exciting), The Last of Us (gameplay; Ellie is such a good character), Game of Thrones (I really like the character dynamics; great fucking show), aaaand the Tao Te Ching, just for specificity.

So yeah. It’ll be an entirely new list by next month. But I really just like stuff. Anything could work for me, to be honest. And I feel really giddy for some reason (?) and I’m probably annoying someone right now, aha. I’ll go.

I can already tell D.H. Lawrence is going to leave quite a mark on me.

The Master doesn’t try to be powerful;
thus he is truly powerful.
The ordinary man keeps reaching for power;
thus he never has enough.

The Master does nothing,
yet he leaves nothing undone.
The ordinary man is always doing things,
yet many more are left to be done.

The kind man does something,
yet something remains undone.
The just man does something,
and leaves many things to be done.
The moral man does something,
and when no one responds
he rolls up his sleeves and uses force.

When the Tao is lost, there is goodness.
When goodness is lost, there is morality.
When morality is lost, there is ritual.
Ritual is the husk of true faith,
the beginning of chaos.

Therefore the Master concerns himself
with the depths and not the surface,
with the fruit and not the flower.
He has no will of his own.
He dwells in reality,
and lets all illusions go.

― Lao-tse, Tao Te Ching, Verse 38

パコーン！ダヴィデ像、ミロのビーナスを輪切りにしたら脳みそが詰まってた「彫像人体解剖図」 : カラパイア

I may never finish this sonnet

I have written and rewritten your death,
and I have scratched it into untouched graves,
carving for each your bitter tragedy:
a girl with no name, a girl with no love.

I’ve only been able to watch gameplay of The Last of Us, but goddamn, Ellie is the cutest fucking thing. Her little jokes kill me.

Edit: and bad-ass — holy shit.
