We had an idea that started as a joke. We had an affinity for that minimalist look and feel of early online journals. We had a couple drinks.

THIS IS NOT A GHOST STORY
Alina Kalontarov

Around the kitchen table, the children
play pretend. Let’s pretend to be ancestors,
the youngest suggests. You can’t be
an ancestor, the oldest replies, because then
you’d be dead. The mother silently wiping
the counter pretends to be there, ghosts
bleating like lambs in her head. The children
abandon the old game. The past goes on
pretending to be gone. The ancestors
play dead. by @hadhavehadhave

"Godspeed, ends your reply. God slow, they write back, if there is a god, it is slow. I reply this is a good line of poetry, joke that I would like to steal it. I am welcome to steal it, they reply, but they will, maybe, steal it back."

a knockout today from @sophieandthechoices

https://www.havehashad.com/hadposts/on-cost On Cost

A former student writes you a note about sadness. They want to know how to write poems in which sadness does not “overpower the main message.” The sharing of sadness, they say, has a cost. You think about this a long time, think a snake shedding skin, the skin being found months later, after the rain, alongside a drift of new fall leaves, the bright scent of disintegration. This is what you will tell your former student. Godspeed, ends your reply. God slow, they write back, if there is a god, it is slow. I reply this is a good line of poetry, joke that I would like to steal it. I am welcome to steal it, they reply, but they will, maybe, steal it back. When my father died, I began to shoplift from a close-by store, a cheap chain. I put things into my canvas bag—avocados, vegan cheese, dark chocolate—thinking-without-thinking: I deserve this. I felt that when or if I was caught, I would simply burst into tears before security. My father died, I would wail aloud, inconsolable, he by @hadhavehadhave

how about a @juscart villanelle, composed while watching Bob's Burgers? who says no?!

"We’re watching his favorite episode tonight,
where Tina starts dating a goose named Bruce,
but my toddler keeps running around, screaming about ghosts,"

"Therapy has gotten too expensive or always was but there was a time I thought a professional’s advice or guidance was needed but now it’s not that I seek answers so much as someone to listen without judgment or interruption so instead..."

Therapy in the Park
Anna Vangala Jones

(full text at link)
Therapy has gotten too expensive or always was but there was a time I thought a professional’s advice or guidance was needed but now it’s not that I seek answers so much as someone to listen without judgment or interruption so instead of taking the long bus ride to my old therapist’s office between the Chinese food takeout counter and the stationery store—isn’t it funny and lovely how we still sell and purchase letterhead, envelopes, and journals when so many have fallen out of practice at handwriting even their own names—I venture a few blocks past the giant fountain with birds chirping and children shrieking in the cold water to visit my favorite statue of the bronze couple on the bench, the man reading a book with the woman reading over his shoulder, and I sit beside them like they’re expecting me and tell them about my late rent, my mother’s anxious calls I haven’t yet returned about my father’s test results... by @hadhavehadhave
