James Hand’s “very brief thoughts”
re Bed & Shoplifting from American Apparel & Eeeee Eee Eeee by Tao Lin, The Human War by Noah Cicero, sometimes my heart pushes my ribs by Ellen Kennedy, during my nervous breakdown i want to have a biographer present by Brandon Scott Gorrell, Voyage in the Dark by Jean Rhys, The Informers by Bret Easton Ellis, Ham on Rye by Charles Bukowski, The Easter Parade & A Good School by Richard Yates, Imperial Bedrooms by Bret Easton Ellis
I’m preparing myself for an extended period of loneliness
That will begin very soon I think
I’ve illegally downloaded two new depressing songs
I’ve placed a copy of Good Morning, Midnight under my pillow for easy reference
I’ve printed out the tablature for every Morrissey song I know so I can sing them to myself
Alone in my room
Just a few things are needed really
To make me calm
While I figure out a simple, clean, and effective way to kill myself,
With minimal stress for the person who has to find and dispose of my body
But I’ll probably never think of a way
Because I’ll probably never kill myself
I’ll just lie in my bed suffocating myself with my pillows
While listening to the four songs you said were your favorite
And maybe burn myself a little with the iron
On special occasions
And the next time I’m in a subway station,
I’ll stand a little further on the yellow line
Or maybe the next I’m at your apartment
I’ll try a little harder— Ellen Kennedy, from Sometimes My Heart Pushes My Ribs.
“Jean Rhys” poem by Ellen Kennedy, read by me. The usual deal. (Click title link for text source; click here for image source).
“
i want to live by the ocean
and stare at it everyday
and bring you to my window
to see the ocean
and point and say
‘look at that!’
you will be unimpressed
and i will flick your nose
until you bleed
and never talk to me again
” don’t touch me by Ellen Kennedy(Source: dvqe)
“
stop staring at me
my body is so small compared to the sun
my heart is so small
” Ellen Kennedy, “i want to kill everyone and then myself” (via larmoyante)“two people lying very close on a one-person mattress”
