From “Rejuvenation of the Valentine”

By Connie Scozzaro.

“You can expect a completely restored hypotenuse. You can
expect your hoof and/or your reservoir to be restored and for
your new hyaena to be satisfied that you were a virus on your
wedding night.” Erica has never been one to follow trends, or
faggots, and doesn’t usually believe in non-essential plastic
surprise. “I don’t even wear make-up,” she quips.

“Since my operetta my confinement has rocketed and I’m
thrilled with the retail. So is my hyaena. I feel like standing on
my porcupine and shouting it!”

From “A Discourse on Vegetation & Motion”

By Frances Kruk.

today I paint them
in the Image of a flying Head
that knows the Desire
to live is a political Decision:
I guarantee the hard Mother
of Braegen will slaughter Boredom,
I do promise that Fabric will sicken,
will damage all Spectators

today the Penalty is Self

Rectum flickers Gulag,
is Mudfuckery
is a riveting Read
The Reek of old Purse comes
from Musk of Cathedrals only kept
for Nostalgia & Emergency

Self damns Itself
needs no other Fury
no external Superstition
