The Carousel

Hey if you ever feel so inclined, you can now support the podcast w/ a donation at http://paypal.me/makeamixtape One time I started writing a poem called DON DRAPER SELLS ME A USED CAR, which I never finished but here's what I got: DON DRAPER SELLS ME A USED CAR Don Draper slurred at us in a precovid conference room: You must remember this. For a moment we believed in the promise of a past we could trust, could hold aside, preserved. I think all my earliest memories were actually home video (You must remember this) Recorded, and played back, ceaselessly against the past So I picked up a camera and got in the business of making false memories.   The old ones I once believed in are gone now Dissolved on magnetic tape. Teddy told me that "lacuna" means a hole in the bone We use it to refer to a gap in the fossil record. We assume it is there, though. It has to be.  This is a public episode.
