Christopher Poindexter

i'll throw
my
voice into
the stars and maybe
the echo of my words will
be written for you
in the clouds by
sunrise.
all i am trying
to say is,

I will love you
through the darkness.

"The Penelopiad" by Margaret Atwood

Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can't go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.

"Vows (for a gay wedding)" by Joseph O. Legaspi

I vow to love you in primal ways.

I vow to love you in infinite forms.

In our separateness and composites.

To dust and stars and the ever after.

"The Guest" by Anna Akhmatova

I asked: "What do you want?"

He replied: "To be with you in Hell."

I laughed: "Oh, you'll foredoom
Us both to disaster."

Not a single muscle quivered
On his radiantly evil face.

The Yin-Yang Master: Dream Of Eternity, 2021

Names are the shortest spells
in the world.

Victor Hugo

Es gibt weder schlechtes Kraut
noch schlechte Menschen.
Es gibt nur schlechte Bauern.

Erin McKean

You don't owe prettiness to anyone. Not to your boyfriend/spouse/partner, not to your co-workers, especially not to random men on the street. You don't owe it to your mother, you don't owe it to your children, you don't it to civilization in general. Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked 'female'.

"Not All Men" by Morgan St. Jean

Have you ever

Felt like you were beaten, but they left no bruises?

If you tell the truth, they say his life is ruined

Well, I have

"Song of Myself, 51" by Walt Whitman

Do I contradict myself?

Very well then I contradict myself,

(I am large, I contain multitudes.)

"Daily bread" by Maison Hefner

importing cocaine

into the nose of the pope

I replied

when the priest

asked me

what I do

for a living.

Haruki Murakami, 1Q84

Everyone, deep in their hearts, is waiting for the end of the world to come

Doom at Your Service

Not knowing how to cry

has been a habit of mine for a long time.

May the bridges

I burn

light the way.

"Alles ist jetzt" von Bosse

Ich hab' gelernt das Leben zu genießen
Meine Freunde wie Blumen zu gießen
Ich hab' gelernt das Feuer zu schüren
Den Zauber nicht zu verlieren
Ich hab' gelernt der erste Blick täuscht
Und, dass es gut ist, wenn man sich verläuft
Ich hab' gelernt auch wenn's mies ist
Geht die Sonne trotzdem auf
[...]
Ich hab' gelernt es gibt viele dumme Menschen
Die ihren Hass weitergeben, so entstehen Grenzen
Ich hab' gelernt der Mut, den man gibt
Ist Liebe, die man kriegt
Ich hab' gelernt ich will kein Nimmermehr
Weiter, geiler brauch' ich nicht mehr
Ich hab' gelernt zu feiern
Und zu schätzen was ich hab'
[...]
Und das, was du träumst musst du machen, einfach machen
All die besten, super Sachen
Alles ist jetzt

"Venom" by Little Simz | A COLORS SHOW

"BTS' Suga: 'Rolling Stone' Digital Cover Story" by Brian Hiatt

You’ve been open in your lyrics about depression and other struggles. How are you now?

I’m comfortable now and feeling good, but those sorts of negative emotions come and go. So it’s almost like cold weather. It may come back in a cycle over a year, year and a half. But when I hear people say that when they listen to my music, and feel comfort and are consoled by those lyrics that express these emotions, that makes me feel very good. It’s very encouraging. I think, for anybody, these emotions are not something that need to be hidden. They need to be discussed and expressed. Whatever emotions that I may be feeling, I’m always ready to express them now, as I was before.

Cool Girl-Monologue from "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn

Men always say that as the defining compliment, don’t they? She’s a cool girl. Being the "Cool Girl" means I am a hot, brilliant, funny woman who adores football, poker, dirty jokes, and burping, who plays video games, drinks cheap beer, loves threesomes and anal sex, and jams hot dogs and hamburgers into her mouth like she’s hosting the world’s biggest culinary gang bang while somehow maintaining a size 2, because Cool Girls are above all hot. Hot and understanding. Cool Girls never get angry; they only smile in a chagrined, loving manner and let their men do whatever they want. Go ahead, shit on me, I don’t mind, I’m the Cool Girl.
Men actually think this girl exists. Maybe they’re fooled because so many women are willing to pretend to be this girl. For a long time Cool Girl offended me. I used to see men – friends, coworkers, strangers – giddy over these awful pretender women, and I’d want to sit these men down and calmly say: You are not dating a woman, you are dating a woman who has watched too many movies written by socially awkward men who’d like to believe that this kind of woman exists and might kiss them. I’d want to grab the poor guy by his lapels or messenger bag and say: The bitch doesn’t really love chili dogs that much – no one loves chili dogs that much! And the Cool Girls are even more pathetic: They’re not even pretending to be the woman they want to be, they’re pretending to be the woman a man wants them to be. Oh, and if you’re not a Cool Girl, I beg you not to believe that your man doesn’t want the Cool Girl. It may be a slightly different version – maybe he’s a vegetarian, so Cool Girl loves seitan and is great with dogs; or maybe he’s a hipster artist, so Cool Girl is a tattooed, bespectacled nerd who loves comics. There are variations to the window dressing, but believe me, he wants Cool Girl, who is basically the girl who likes every fucking thing he likes and doesn’t ever complain. (How do you know you’re not Cool Girl? Because he says things like: “I like strong women.” If he says that to you, he will at some point fuck someone else. Because “I like strong women” is code for “I hate strong women.”)
