You should start writing again because it isn't an exclusive club you have to level up to get into. There is nothing prestigious about any of this. The Literary World's most gatekept secret is that it is dying. We are all dying. Let's write unhinged poems about it and live más.

@tylercdempsey hands down “A study of Prometheus and what was Left of the Harbor” with @perhappened 🔥 it feels like I wrote it 100 years ago but somehow it was 2022 https://t.co/0SDd9AjTnE
