I'm trying to make stationary for my typewriter. I took a picture of it so I could put it in the corner so people could see what I was typing their letters on but I wanted it look like something from a zine in the 1990s so made the image black and white and inverted then printed it then cut it out.

the unbearable burden of an immortal soul

giving up my legs
I will now be foam, floating
on the sea surface

I've been taking a picture every day of the house across the street being built. What a difference a day makes in the sky. yikes. the smoke is so thick.

Chronic pain

As a small child you are told that it is
just growing pains, and it will go away
As your bones and tendons make adjustments
Stop crying, it will all be over soon

In your teens and twenties, you will be told
You are too young to be in any pain
And you’ll be scolded as a drug seeker
For any attempts you make to soothe it

Once you are in your thirties you’ll be told
It’s all in your head, just anxiety
Over forty is old enough for pain
But now that’s the only answer given

A lifetime of damage has been done and
Nothing has been done to stop or fix it
