"Charmed as I am / by the sputter of bacon"

I allow myself by Dorothea Grossman

Some things I’ve been enjoying lately:

• Listening to this album while studying.

• Watching Sharon Olds readings while cooking. I’m in love with this (unpublished?) poem she read at the Hammer Museum in 2015.

• Spending my lunch break at the Planet Fitness across from my job. Not too many people, a nice 45 minutes sweating out my worries, and a cold shower in the middle of the day. Bliss.
