This poem hits me hard because I seriously, unironically believe that the realtor in this poem is a scammer who should go to jail, and so are the parents they stand in forhttps://twitter.com/drvolts/status/1322263909743484928 …

All this shit the Boomers say about Millennials not doing our duty to keep the birthrate up Sorry I just don't have it in me to provide you more fuel for the machine Maybe it's better if the machine just shuts down
I guess I'm old fashioned, I greatly prefer to "Good Bones" Philip Larkin's "This Be the Verse", which is much blunter and harsher about what he thinks the solution ispic.twitter.com/JFxUOLb0zs
Hm. I think the nihilism is cynical and self serving, ultimately. Good Bones is about the knife edge of hope and lies, about the ambivalence of not giving up, of at least trying.
Here's my controversial take: Saying "But you can't give up, you have to at least try" isn't a great and unique act of courage It's what everyone says, in order to justify keeping on keeping on and doing what everyone else does *Actually* giving up is at least a decision
I still remember being a kid and hearing other people's stories about how "my dad ran out on me" and wishing my dad would run out on me I was jealous of Will Smith on Fresh Prince
Everyone learns their own highly personalized lessons from childhood that are often incompatible with each other but mine was that people who grit their teeth and put the effort in to fulfill a responsibility they'd rather not have just keep making things worse and worse
