You can suffer nostalgia in the presence of beloved if you glimpse a future where beloved is no more
someone in the UK threw eggs at Charles and was arrested and has been banned from openly carrying eggs in public and has since been sent death threats but their statement on the matter was so fucking good
Emily Jungmin Yoon, “Between Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice, Today”
“1. This is how the story goes. A boy raised in captivity falls in love with a sun he sees for the first time, flies too close thinking he can possess it, doesn’t listen to a father’s warning and plummets into the sea. His father grieves, so everyone grieves. The story is immortalised in the boy’s blood, a tale passed down with silkdelicate care through eternity. 2. There is another story. In it a boy asks too many questions, lusts too much for more, dares to question his father’s authority. He is banished from the skies, sent falling from the heavens but he does not die. Instead he is named ruler of all that is cruel, painful and wretched with the world. No one grieves for this boy, as he is deemed the root of all evil. 3. It is the way of the universe for boys to disobey their fathers, for children to question what they know and want more, more from their lives. 4. The way a father chooses to love after this happens is how the story is told. 5. This is the reason everyone weeps for Icarus. 6. It is also the reason no tears were ever shed for Lucifer.”
— Icarus and Lucifer, Nikita Gill

SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS (1961) “We took them to lunch at a place on East Fifty-eighth street, and my dear, we shouldn’t have been there. They were entwined, lots of hugs and kisses. The restaurant was rather crowded. But that didn’t deter the lovers. They went at it all through lunch. I loved it!” - Eleanor Kilgallen

The entrance of Luna Park on Coney Island in 1924. The amusement park opened in 1903. In 1944, the park was mostly destroyed by a fire before closing down in 1946 after a second fire. It reopened in 2010.

Starlight Park, the Bronx, June 1921. Opened in 1918, Starlight Park had everything Coney had—bathing pavillions, a shooting gallery, a 15,000-seat stadium for the circus and other events, even a roller coaster. “It had a big swimming pool with a sort of observation veranda alongside, a sandy ‘beach’ and lockers by the day or season,” said a letter to the NY Times in 1995. The park even sponsored a little culture for the masses, in the form of opera and big band shows. The stadium was home to the New York Giants soccer team, and a popular venue for amateur boxing and auto races. It was closed in 1932.

I could not stop wasting time. It was crazy. I wanted to do something with my life, but instead, I went to sleep, or sung in the shower, or sat and stared at the wall. I couldn't even tell you about anything that I saw. I didn't talk to anybody. The cicadas kept dying outside, and as I dreamed, my mouth grew thick and venomous with silence.
— Yiwei Chai, The Jacaranda Years
“l am afraid. l am not solid, but hollow. I feel behind my eyes, a numb, paralyzed cavern, a pit of hell, a mimicking nothingness. I never thought, I never wrote, I never suffered. I do not know who l am, where l am going.”
— Syvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath
I had no interests. I had no interest in anything. I had no idea how I was going to escape. At least, the others had some taste for life. They seemed to understand something that I didn't understand. Maybe I was lacking. It was possible. I often felt inferior. l just wanted to get away from them. But there was no place to go.
— Charles Bukowski, Ham on Rye

[I want you and you want something more beautiful]
[I can love and I can do practically nothing else. I was the wrong sort of person for you to have to do with. You want a world of people falling over each like puppies, people to quarrel and play with, people who rage and ache instead of people who burn.]
[We're shooting the scene where I swallow / your heart and you make me / spit it up again. I swallow your heart and it crawls / right out of my mouth.]
[i am mouthing / something too heavy even / for this steady night to shoulder. / 'this is not a joke.' i mouth. / 'love me. love me.']
[I can't get you off my mind / You can't get yours off the hostess / Watched her lips reserving tables / As my ugly mouth kept running / Love me / Love me]
love me, love me
