i am so tired of vagina metaphors, part II
here’s a first draft of a second poem on the same “erotic landscape” prompt, which I call Georgia O’Keeffe:  Georgia O’Keeffe i hated her work the first time i saw it i was eight and the flowers stared me down like the dinosaurs we’d learned about the week before: grotesque, large, vibrant prehistoric. a man came in to show us art (o! how strange it is now, ...

i am so tired of vagina metaphors
oceans, wet things, flowers blooming. fuckin a. seriously?  so, for my “erotic landscape” prompt poems, i’ve not done that. send me comments if you hate it or love it or think it’s mediocre? here’s one draft, called clay:  clay became a part of me in childhood bike crashes and falls, sliding desert rocks under the translucent death of skinned palms where ...

fictitiouscreativity replied to your post: some nightmares can’t be woken up from me too. sometimes, when i’m feeling angsty and lonely, i put on those old cds. it makes my ears bleed, but it makes me feel better knowing how much growing up i’ve done . ugh Courtney, you get me.

another poem- this one a pastiche on Frank O’Hara’s “The Day Lady Died” “Split/spilt” I said aloud to myself alone six times In a bed too big, as I looked at the clock numbers changing and wondered if a) I am separated and divided or, maybe, b) fractal facets of identity and miscellaneous other ‘personality’ pieces of me just fall out in overflow if -and most...

put a poem up on here and then deleted it— it makes me feel very exposed, and certainly like i’m oversharing. i’m going repost and to do it anyway, and challenge myself to post my work, conversation and feedback is always welcome. /questions for my sister’s ex-boyfriend’s boxers:/ were you the piece she held on to? tattered, filled with memories of a man- a creature- a beast...

fun fact of the night:
every semester during recruitment i have an unnecessary existential crisis about joining a sorority  edit for clarification: i go to a really small school and some of the nicest and most enjoyable people i know are part of greek life. yes, some sorority rituals annoy my skull off, but so do bonding rituals for my job and even for music groups, etc. it always sounds nice to be a part of a...

nothing says ‘check yourself’ about freaking out about my butchness and queerocity and boyishness and this that and the other like being woken up by a friend who needs you to let him in to the apartment building and seeing him waiting for you, walk-of-shamin’ it, in a glorious hot pink dress and fishnets. there are places to worry about how the world reacts to me. this is not...

Disney Executive 1: Should we make a new movie?
Disney Executive 2: No, everyone loves 3D with all their heart and souls so instead of making new movies lets just re-release every movie we've ever made in 3D.
Disney Executive 1: That sounds like a great idea *Wipes his ass with a stack of money*
Disney Executive 2: Thanks *Tears a stack of 100 dollar bills in half*
