Can't stop thinking about this Adam Zagajewski poem
BOOGIE-WOOGIE You shout from the other room You ask me how to spell boogie-woogie And instantly I think what luck no war has been declared no fire has consumed our city's monuments our bodies our dwellings The river didn't flood no friends have been arrested It's only boogie-woogie I sigh relieved and say it's spelled just like it sounds boogie-woogie --Adam Zagajewski (1945-2021) (Translated, from the Polish, by Clare Cavanagh.)

I wrote and posted this to Instagram a couple of days ago and it became my most-read poem ever. I’m honored I get to feel big feelings alongside you all. I’m posting it here too and want to use this space more consistently. Hello friends ❤️

Brutal.
A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools. Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's "keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's "we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight." It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before. "It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time. A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead. @michaelfdubois Mukad A QuBoy @michacifdubois
