From the Wind: Emi, Jackie

May 11, 2020 Kate Belew with Emi, Jackie (New York City)

A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall is something I'll never 
live down. The window down, cracked like 
we're never coming back from this, but I'm not sure
if that outlook will optimize joy, or commodify 

our relationship. I keep asking the same question

and getting different answers from the wind:

yes, yes, no, try again. Perhaps it's not asking

but telling. A magic eight ball of instruction, weather

predictions, and supplicants are all the same: 
true, if you don't mind lies.
