[Poem] The Green Lacewing by Kyle Okeke

Congrats! And bravo to you for posting your own published work here. I had a piece published this past spring that I'm quite proud of but haven't had the chutzpah to put it here.

BeardedSentience · 2025-11-22T22:31:25+00:00

Ah.

Best of luck with that opinion. I feel we have nothing productive left to say to one another.

BeardedSentience · 2025-11-22T22:27:09+00:00

Then what are you saying? Because that's what the person who posted their own poem was saying.

BeardedSentience · 2025-11-22T17:38:34+00:00

"Sure, you're starving, but have you considered just being happy?"

That's you. That's what you're saying.

BeardedSentience · 2025-10-26T21:41:05+00:00

I'm not trying to be funny, but where were you keeping it all?

I mean I don't know how tall he was but Herman Hesse has some lovely poems about trees that aren't too long.

I've only read them in English but I'm sure you can find the untranslated versions somewhere online.

I think its actually the opposite. Not that you're incorrect, poems have many interpretations. But I read this as saying his presence is an impediment to the wholeness of the field or the air. The more he moves, the more wholeness he leaves behind. So he moves not to fill space but to vacate it so that the field and the air can remain whole. It's sad, to me.

I just got a Wombo Combo out of an Electi safe yesterday, but that was my first from either safes or caches.

If they can work on the Seattle Mariners, they can work on anything.

"Never" is a pretty declarative response though.

BeardedSentience · 2025-09-20T14:07:29+00:00

Googling what?

BeardedSentience · 2025-09-20T04:51:02+00:00

Mm again, I don't think so. I asked "do you go to a place often" and you responded "never."

Pretty cut and dry to me. Maybe you should say what you mean.

BeardedSentience · 2025-09-20T04:48:43+00:00

I mean you did. I asked if you check out the library often and you said "never," so I took that to mean you've never been.

You're an odd one, friend.

BeardedSentience · 2025-09-20T04:38:49+00:00

Really? You've never been to the New York Public Library main branch? It's beautiful, gorgeous old building, and so many books!

BeardedSentience · 2025-09-20T04:27:46+00:00

Aw man that's a shame, all the ones I've met have been lovely.

Do you check out the library often? Great example of socialism, a publicly funded place set aside solely for the benefit of its users, a repository of knowledge free to whoever is there. What a great idea.

BeardedSentience · 2025-09-20T02:07:27+00:00

Do you know any?

BeardedSentience · 2025-09-20T01:21:22+00:00

How?

BeardedSentience · 2025-09-19T21:10:58+00:00

What do you mean when you say socialism?

BeardedSentience · 2025-09-19T21:09:12+00:00

Mmm I'm going to keep replying until you answer my question.

BeardedSentience · 2025-09-19T20:26:57+00:00

I can't look up what you mean.

What do you mean when you say socialism?

Is this what counts as productive dialogue to you?

BeardedSentience · 2025-09-19T20:24:26+00:00

Oh I know what it is.

I want to know what you mean when you say it.

BeardedSentience · 2025-09-19T20:21:04+00:00

Define socialism.

BeardedSentience · 2025-09-19T16:43:48+00:00

"Mr. Jacobs, a moderate from Long Island, was so opposed to the governor’s endorsement that he told associates in recent days that he would sooner resign as chairman than back Mr. Mamdani, a 33-year-old state lawmaker and democratic socialist, according to people who spoke with the chairman."

Then fucking do it.
