Check out my new poem "Acknowledgements" which is made up of fake poems published in fake publications.

neonpajamas.substack.com/p/090-poem-p...
“Last July” first appeared in the morse code of my haunted thumb. * “The French Have a Word for That” was pressed between the seat cushions of your mother’s musty couch—the one you nearly lost your virginity on—had it not been for the clown in the other room inventing new balloon animals. * “Bejesus No. 4” appeared in the drying spring of a pastorally-significant meadow. * “Having Said it” first appeared in a text message I sent to the moon.

The first six (of 22) fake acknowledgments in @yoadrianididit.bsky.social new poem. This poem rules.

neonpajamas.substack.com/p/090-poem-p...
“Acknowledgements” “An Uncertain Valley” appeared in The Ticonderoga Railroader. * “Which Went That Way” appeared in Cemetery Bracket. * “Locking Picking in Somerset” was first issued in an undertaker’s brochure. * “Untitled Sonnet (The Wet in a Speaker)” was sewn into your husband’s jacket, where it stayed, draped across the back of a bar stool. * “Hat on a Hard-on” was published as an insert in the July issue of Erotica for the Sophisticates of Kenosha Wisconsin. * “Weekender” appeared in a dream. It remained there, a red fog ominous atop a slow photogenic hill.

She & Him last night.
In the foreground a black silhouette of a head, bifurcating the background, which features She & Him on stage. On the left side of the silhouette is M. Ward and on the right side of the head is Zooey Deschanel.

Charlie Hunter playing D'Angelo's "The Root," wielding a
a custom 8-string bass/guitar combo – the upper 3 strings are bass and the bottom 5 guitar–allowing Hunter to play both parts simultaneously

He co-wrote it w/ D’Angelo after jamming together to Jimi Hendrix songs during the “Voodoo” sessions

I like going to the dispensaries with a single point of ingress and egress and the doors are heavy like you'd see in the prison from face/off. You walk in, a drone scans your body and a guy in a gray uniform escorts you to a room to buy something called "headband sweat" from a white guy w dreads

Some dispensaries make you feel like you're going through security at a prison. Others feel like a bar where no one has any idea where anything is.

Dispensaries are all either authoritarian (and haphazardly run) or chill (and also haphazardly run). There is no in-between.

The internet, particularly social media, is great at separating people into insular, competing factions, which keeps us from recognizing our class solidarity. "Indeed the internet complex has never been deployed with even minor success in furthering an anti-capitalist or anti-war agenda."
Accounts of the internet as an egalitarian, horizontal field of "public spheres" have deleted any class-based language or advocacy of class struggle at a historical moment when class antagonisms are as acute as ever. Indeed, the internet complex has never been deployed with even minor success in furthering an anti-capitalist or anti-war agenda. It disperses the disempowered into a cafeteria of separate identities, sects, and interests and is especially effective at solidifying reactionary group formations. The insularity it produces becomes an incubator of particularisms, racisms, and neo-fascisms. Identity politics, as Nancy Fraser and others have argued, has been crucial to the strategies of "progressive" neoliberal elites: to ensure that a potentially powerful majority cannot recognize itself, being split into separate and competing factions from which a handful of representatives are allowed conspicuous entry into the meritocracy." The internet carries this strategy of highlighting diversity and encouraging Compartmentalization to a new level of effectiveness.
