a skinny red cow
hair missing back humped
a dead black calf in snow its eye
a brilliant chemical blue
a calf’s bisected head
liver heart stomachs kidneys
gall bladder some dark some green
cows with stringy tails malformed hooves
lesions red receded eyes suffering slobbering
staggering like drunks
It don’t look like
anything I’ve been into before

I’m not mad. I just seems that way
because I stagger and get a bit irritable.
There are wonderful holes in my brain
through which ideas from outside can travel
at top speed and through which voices,
sometimes whole people, speak to me
about the universe. Most brains are too
compressed. You need this spongy
generosity to let the others in.

Geese cannot pick up their young and take flight, lifting them into the air; all they can do is swim, carrying the goslings through the water atop their backs. First-year geese have a survival rate of 50-70 percent. Geese mate for life and love their young fiercely. They are quite emotional creatures.
Three geese sitting atop posts like sentinels
watch as two goslings below the dam
swim against the tide
crashing into the falling water
over and over
fighting to get back to where they were.
No way to go but down.
They settle on a rocky clearing above the water,
tired and wet,
shaking the water off of their backs—unaware.
The mother goose looks at me and calls to me
(we don’t share a language—
but I understand her desperate cry for help).
She lays down flat on the post, despondent and resigned.
The flock comes to her and surrounds her.
I cannot look away or leave;
we are bearing witness.
Cruelest world takes life every day,
and sometimes there is nothing we can do but watch.

the old-fashioned way, like you would before the entire internet was monopolised into basically three conglomerates. why would you spend all your time on your computer swapping between instagram tiktok youtube pinterest when you could find some of the coolest websites you've never heard about learning information your algorithm would never feed to you!!!!
a good place to start is your favourite artist's websites (not just musicians!) sometimes they have blogs (especially if they're writers) and often they link websites they like.
I also like magazine websites - the face, angel food, hot literati
or craigslist missed connections. I check the new york section all the time
