"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.

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

Delighted to share that j/j hastain and I have three collaborative poems appearing in CUL-DE-SAC OF BLOOD!
"When I brought my black flower inside, there were bunches
of human hair hanging from the petals. At first, I wasn't sure
where they had come from. Then I realized
of course they came from me. But I wasn't sure
if they would destroy the flowers or help them grow
into something new. Part of me felt that the more they grew,
the more my peripheral vision would be altered."

New! A collaborative poem by j/j hastain and me, SUBLIMINAL BODY JEWELRY IS THE NEW LEADER , is newly appearing in BigCityLit!
"Within one week, three nose rings flew out of my nose,
hit the floor and quickly dispersed.
A month later one of them submerged
from the carpeting and sky rocketed up to the ceiling
like a tiny UFO. It wanted my nose to join it.
Next thing I knew I was missing my vertebrae,
sequined maggots were stitched to the top of my ears
and invertebrate inventory was being conducted
on my hair..."
Happy Friday!

Model Arts and Crafts - Model Hog Heaven - Art Barn Torture - Like A Tortured Clown Funny.
Two Industrial Arts models heads fused together,
jaws welded into an
experimental act of inertia.
Their brains were
off-kilter anyway,
before their necks
were snapped.
So what if they're
dead? Now they can be parts
of something
greater, parts of the whole art barn.
This barn reeks of
death.

P.S. For anyone who hasn't looked at Pinky Thinker yet, one thing that really makes this new magazine stand out uniquely is that it includes all kinds of artsy dance choreography and Screendances. It offers dance art alongside visual art, collage art, and word art (poetry, stories, screenplays). A big part of the reason I sent poetry to this publication was because I don't think I've ever been in a magazine that has poetry appearing right next to contemporary dance performance art and I thought that was really cool. I'm not a great dancer, but I love artsy dance choreography and see/feel it as another form of creative/poetic expression that can go hand in hand with poetry and so I am delighted that Pinky Thinker is exploring this!
