I'm probably the only rapper genuinely hitting subjects that will make u think about what the hell is really going on in this world

hey!! long time no talk! how are things?

& yah, i definitely recommend digging through the book when you get the chance. "harmonium" and "ideas of order" obviously carry pretty storied reputations but i've been stuck on the "transport to summer" collection in particular. here's "debris of life and mind":


there is so little that is close and warm.
it is as if we were never children.

sit in the room. it is true in the moonlight
that it is as if we had never been young.

we ought not to be awake. it is from this
that a bright red woman will be rising

and, standing in violent golds, will brush her hair.
she will speak thoughtfully the words of a line.

she will think about them not quite able to sing.
besides, when the sky is so blue, things sing themselves,

even for her, already for her. she will listen
and feel that her color is a meditation,

the most gay and yet no so gay as it was.
stay here. speak of familiar things a while.

v well! how are you, ryan? what's new?
