Pandemic Laments
My depression is deeper
than yours.
My existentialism is darker.
You have Kierkegaard.
I have Sartre.
My nihilism is bleakest.
I can’t imagine Sisyphus happy.
“I, quite unexceptionally, distrust the publishing marketplace as saying anything about a person’s capacity to produce useful work; meritocracy is as cruel an ideology in these places as any.”
