Currently staying with my parents. They have eggs for breakfast on Wednesday and Sunday. These days are now both known as “Egg Day.” They plan for Egg Day days in advance. The night before an Egg Day they talk about how excited they are for Egg Day. They’ve been married 35 years.

citation in a pandemic is pulling text from the epub you illegally downloaded because the hard copy is in the office you're not allowed to access and then searching for it on Google Books to find the page number because otherwise it's not "correct"

These 5 lines by Randall Jarrell contain more irony seasoned w/pain than any other poem I know. Jarrell was also a brilliant & unsparing critic (read No Other Book & Poetry and the Age). He once said he had ‘an uneasy respect’ for a poem I’d written. pic.twitter.com/3gBvBsCWfr
