Sunrise Alarm
in Issue 96 | Prophecies (Jan 2021)I bought this thing because it’s a $27 orange disc of hope that the future exists, and I’ll be in it, awake.
My Painting Was Bad so I Brought It to the Psychic
in Issue 78 | The Weird (Aug 2017)I should have made an appointment - urticariaomancy, divination by itches - all bullshit has its globules of truth - the round little man had crossed the street - she radiated an intense normalcy - I switched tactics - you’re having some romantic trouble, you’re a little lonely, you try to be social - just clean I mean clear your mind
The Blackest Black Thing
in Issue 77 | Black and Blue (Jul 2017)it is impossible to gauge the contours of an object coated in Vantablack - green forever but not necessarily the greenest green at a particular point in time - puncture the soft belly of language - Vantablack is the Splenda of blacks, a god among men - the darkest unblack color seems like it should be a blue so deep it edges into purple - both by hand and by having naked women roll around in it - through Google Maps I maintain virtual access to the place of its manufacture - COCKLES MUSSELS WHELKS JELLIED EELS PRAWNS - maybe it is where the scientists live

I was told there would be complimentary transcendence
in Issue 67 | CAMP (Aug 2016)skiing was for girls named Heather or Casey - boys who did not witness me peeing my pants - feeling starved and martyred - my outstanding participation in Bible study - breaking a French press and scraping my ass bloody - a centerfold advertisement for a Chevy Suburban - every person's alcoholic preference is accounted for - just a bunch of white people putting their things in other people's houses
