phone notes of note [anonymous]
This month we use the anonymity of contributors’ phone notes - inspired by Hez Stalcup’s phone notes of note - as an exercise to reveal a truth in progress, to notice how one pays attention to the world, to archive ourselves.
Remaining anonymous seems fitting in the time of technology and Coronavirus. Contributors can detach from the perception of who they are. For process sake, we can focus on the thought rather than the thinker. (We’ll have questions about the thinker too though.)
Susan Sontag said, “Description means nothing without examples.” The notes are the examples. To show what one knows, even if it is imperfect. They are tiny digestible time capsules that describe a mood, a dream, an inspiration, ideas, fears…
And will next week be me, you, or someone else? It won’t matter. Because in a way, it’s all of us.
P.S. If you’d like to share your notes with us this month, you can do so here.

as subtle as the watermelon juice on your cheeks as it starts to dry
being directed by neon lights through a dark alley to crawl into the womb of raw flesh
stolen glances and every love of your life that walked in and fluttered out like the fireflies at dusk under the weight of honeysuckle vines
behind closed eyelids with the first fondling of your own body
to feel something that you thought only someone else could give you
its purs and light headbumps against your legs that reminds you its dinnertime
you are someone’s as someone is yours yet belong to no one nowhere
now and in another time
