3152 Day 001 (2026-11-05)
Short story
- What stayed with me: the ending is vague and leaves the reader to determine what has/is happening. The darkness of the room reflects his dark heart and the wife's uneasiness with his racism- is she passing or is she just disgusted.
- Something to steal: discomfort in stillness, in repetitive/redundant movement; in disconnect
Essay
- What stayed with me: the mixture of idolatry and true love is softened by the admiration for kincaid's ability to claim her humanity even when others did not wish to allow it.
- Something to steal: Don't explain. State and let it work it's magic.
Poem
- What stayed with me: the lack of knowledge of the audience (who is Pier Paolo Pasolini anyway?) doesn't take away from the beauty of the imagery and that is made even more impactful once I understood the backstory.
- Something to steal: don't explain; i.f they want to understand, they will do the the work
