Since this is what we want

we get it we get everything
we want we get and must
it up we corrode with regular
damp and dark
and wet we
squander and say hi
oh hi the bank
by the darkness onto which the tides
lap and lap and whisper
hi hello etc
we don’t deserve a day
as nice as today even
if we were in antarctica
even
in the midst of my fraudulent
tears so go out
say hello to sailors
and eat a piece of each cake

What to drink in your mouth

The thing I put in my mouth
made me feel

I ate a hamper of exquisite
plantains or rotten meat or mountains

I ate a dragon and
everyone was actually mad when

I expanded so greatly. First, my head
swelled, second, I thought

I saw the crevices of my
mind. I explored the divergent

natures of Light: the glimmer, flashes, strobe, etc.

Although tired and bloated, Light
is never done eating.

Disgusted by my meal, my meal is
likewise disgusted by me

“A Plate of Ham and Goat’s Milk”

These are the ham hocks
and their unanimous consent
you’ve been waiting for

-Alli Warren

A season doesn’t change
so much as resuscitate archly…

tell them what I told
you: that I plan on dragging

the night down. That I want to
show the stars

what I can do. When I choke on the store
where I bought you your

diamonds. Loving and
peeping and diving under
the clouds. What are the

Songs of Trousers
without tremendous cream filling

squelching out the seams?


I ask you!
