Now Listing:

Things I'd like to maybe start a Kickstarter for:

A big bed of sesame seeds build in a storefront window, whose window is covered in reflective paper, in which I can lay down to rest my wear bones for a bit and napsnack my way back out into the world cocoon style.
Visa fees for every Muslim in the world to come to the US mostly because it would be way more peaceful likely although we'd have to have a conversation about the necessity of bacon.
Someone who is paid CEO-level salary + great bennies just to follow me around (union workday hours is cool) and run my feet and legs and shoulders and hands and back and basically all of my body parts as needed like always.
Honeybee husbandry.
Mandatory, heavily stipended coursework for the entire western world on gaining an understanding of, and the language for, a real conversation on race, class, culture, gender, history, and the end of capital. With cookies and juice.
That orgasm machine from that Woody Allen movie from when he made funny movies before he was a known sexual predator. I don't know that I need to raise funds for mass production. I basically just need one and a backup.
One more orgasm machine to rent-out by the minute because then I'd never have to crowdfund anything ever again.
An American Truth & Reconciliation Commission. Televised live with social media access points ala periscope, twitter, etc.
Basically just more cats.

I’m seriously trying to think of a single Samiya I’ve ever even heard of who looks like this and isn’t on a token orientalist Bravo show... #getofmylawn #donotaskhowifoundthis

Q: What do Fatimah Asghar, Terrance Hayes, Aimee Nezhukumatathil, Anne Waldman, Maggie Nelson, Jenny Xie, Adrian Matejka, Natalie Eilbert, and awhile crew of great poets have in common other than beautiful work and all-around fierceness? A: The whole list is like a favorite conversation table at the best speakeasy in town and I’m glad to be sitting and enjoying the night with every single one of these Poets and Poems! #NowLetsGoStartSomeTrouble 🤗

Thanks to Poets on Broadway, Kevin Craft, David Biespiel, and the folks at Antoinette Hatfield Hall--and EVERYONE who came out tonight! What fun. What good times. What great drinks. What poetry. #swoon
