"Malignant narcissist spitting more dirty fur
out of yammering mouth. First he acts like your pet
or a close friend, then he turns on you
and now he insists you are his.
He grows into a giant tapeworm,
ribbony, twisting around your lips, trying to stick,
eat your words, call them his own,
as if he has always owned you."
the beginning of my poem "Carnivorous Worm"
I am delighted to be included in the Current Issue No. 39 of Misfit!
This issue includes two poems by me - one collaborative poem by Daniel G. Snethen and me - and one collaborative poem by Daniel G. Snethen, Alex S. Johnson, and me.
Lots of wonderful poetry by lots of other poets too! If I were you, I would read it all. But I'm not you.
Thank you very much to writer and editor Alan Catlin.

NEW! A collaborative poem by Daniel G. Snethen and me is appearing in Issue #106 of Yellow Mama!
"...The cruel teacher barks,
cancels recess, hideously instructsstudents to place their heads down
on the desks. She is prepared to lash out
at anyone who moves against her
and bite or slash them in the neck.
I was the shy one. I couldn't move.
I was afraid to breathe.
I didn't want her to hear me.
I feared I might get stomped or cut
into even tinier pieces."
in "Dire Wolf Consequences", a collaborative poem by Daniel G. Snethen and me, which is appearing in Yellow Mama Issue #106!
Preceded by art created by Keith Coats Walker!
Here's a link to the collaboration, but read Daniel's individual poems in this issue too, as well as investigating some of the other creepy fiction and poetry and art!

Another implosion of stagnation
leads toward further deterioration.
Metallic trash inside your head
replicates itself and now there are two
of You hiding behind the trash.
But the first You has succumbed
to ferric oxidation of the psyche
and the second You is bent
against following suit and yearns
to become one with a garbage can.
Your mom is a hysterical burn barrel
with complications during delivery.
Her voice either sizzles at You
or takes You out.
in the poem "Retrogradation of You" by Juliet Cook and Daniel Snethen

"The closest I'll get
to becoming stuck
in a sort of container
is a fish being carried
through a thundering fair.
A slimy hagfish
on top a hot funnel cake.
Screaming instead of
quietly swimming
as they try to swallow me
or throw me away
or place me inside
where they think I belong today."
in my poem "Hagfish Slime"

Happy last day of November! Alice Says Go Fuck Yourself Issue 5 is here!
"It was you who chose to replace the keyhole
with an open wound of red paralysis
with a never ending void of broken glass
hovering above the child's doll.
Then the doll gave birth
to another headless crustacean
and another, and another and yet another ad infinitum."
from "Paint It Red" by Juliet Cook and Daniel G. Snethen
