check this new lit mag out, too. i am in their first issue! mama's adding that cherry to her collection. thank you, boys...
& mama's a little afraid we're getting into a rut. mama's afraid you know what to expect form her now & you're getting tired or you're just gonna settle. mama knows she opens with an anecdote that leads into some kind of news & she sprinkles it all with little jimmies of the sexings. mama knows & she just can't stop.
mama knows a lot of things & she just can't stop. like when mama goes way too goddamned fast & it's a two lane highway & she's trying to pass in the wrong lane & there's a pickup truck coming right at her & she barely makes it then laughs & laughs...
yes yes y'all.
yours,

Diggin BOURBON PENN....nice look and a lot of good writing. Niceness. And, yeah, I'd add that cherry to the collection. "March of the Kewpies" was grand. Loved this display of pure voice in particular:
ReplyDelete"I grabbed whatever was near me, I think it was my grandfather’s cane and it turned into a snake and it slithered in my hands and wanted to get in my pants and I said, I ain’t no fairy, even though, for a minute I wondered what boy-flesh upon boy-flesh would feel like, but I threw the snake from me cause I was only thirteen and hit the kewpie mid-flight, luck on my side just then, and ran down the stairs and closed them up."
Loved that like a bacon cheeseburger. Keep rocking.
