Poem: These Memories Are Not Machine Washable

These Memories Are Not Machine Washable

By Gretchen Gales

Things that aren’t machine washable:

10pm dollar microwave burritos,
10am breakfast burritos,
Talks of elephant tattoos,
Ben and Jerry’s Phish Food,
Tracing the lines of his seagull tattoo, trickling to
A Philippians verse and guitar on his forearms,
Wool-like brushes against my cheek,
Kamel Red smoke trapped in his nimbus beard,
Kissing him anyway,
The story of six--seventeen past lips,
My three—no--four,
That I was pretty, unusually incredible,
But his depression and the grip of his ex
Taking him to all the places he shouldn’t go.
Nightmares of prettier, skinnier women at his side,
Apathy as he curled his seagull arm around them,
Wondering when I was just a tally-mark.

How to Setup Solar

Step 1. Create a Homepage

Even if you already have a home page, you'll need to create a new one since Solar needs a blank page to automatically pull and display your blog posts in the magazine layout. You can create a new homepage by going to "Pages" at the top, click on the "+" icon and select "Standard" page.

Step 2. Apply "solar" Page Layout

Once you create a new homepage, apply the "solar" page layout to the new homepage. You can do this by clicking on "Pages" at the top, select the homepage on the left, and under "HEADER TYPE", select "solar".

Step 3. Create A Blog

If your site doesn't have a Weebly "Blog" page, then create a new "Blog" page. You can do this by clicking on "Pages" at the top, click on the "+" icon and select "Blog Page".

Step 4. Setup Blog Automation

Come back to this screen and fill in the input boxes with the URL of your "Blog" page and 3 category URLs from that blog.

Blog Automation Setup
