As much as I found Melancholia to be very indulgent and absolutely ridiculous, the imagery from the opening sequence has made an indelible impression. Though I’d be curious to check out Bill Viola again, the idea that depression feels like being weighed down by large, heavy strands of gray, murky rope as you try to walk forward—well, it intrigues and appeals.

I am such a sucker for first edition books, especially from the first half of the 20th century.

It is 12:20 in New York a Friday
three days after Bastille day, yes
it is 1959 and I go get a shoeshine
because I will get off the 4:19 in Easthampton
at 7:15 and then go straight to dinner
and I don’t know the people who will feed me
