“throwing yourself headfirst into the imperfect footsteps of giants”
Kurt Vonnegut said
everything was beautiful and nothing hurt
like it would not be possible for these two things
to happen simultaneously
last week when everyone was feeling salty,
Emily said I am with you in your brininess;
it was like she was invoking Ginsberg
I am with you in Rockwell
and I am,
I know exactly what Yeats meant when he wrote
Come away O human child to the waters and the wild
and yes
the world is more full of weeping than we can understand
everything is beautiful and everything hurts
in Rockwell
where dips the rocky highland
and
it’s okay
to not be okay
