Alicia Ostriker, from The Imaginary Lover: Poems; “25th Year of Marriage, It Goes On,”
So I’ll be the loser in this game
I’ll be the bad guy in the play
I’ll be the water main that’s burst and flooding
You’ll be by the window, only watchin’
//
I always thought the choice was mine
And I was right, but I just chose wrong
I start the day lying and end with the truth
That I’m dying for the knife
When Mitski said “I’ll be the loser in this game” but you don’t think it’s even worth playing anymore.
I always thought the choice was mine
And I was right, but I just chose wrong
I start the day lying and end with the truth
That I’m dying for the knife

”Working for the Knife” by Mitski

“The history of mankind in four words…”
“Mimi nyama, wewe kisu. I’m the meat, you’re the knife.”

Every interview with Mitski has me nodding along like “yep, yes, absolutely, very same, hard agree, you know it, that’s right, 💯.”

If you see this you are OBLIGATED to reblog w/ the song currently stuck in your head 🙂
What it came down to was, ‘I have to do this even though it hurts me, because I love it […] This is who I am. … I’m going to keep getting hurt, and I’m still going to do it, because this is the only thing I can do.
Been listening to a lot of Mitski.
