"Today I had a nice moment of letting a squirrel monkey suck molasses off my finger"

My sweetest of cousins works with monkeys at MIT...I stole the title of this post from her--it just kills me! Blake, I am so stealing that sentence for one of my poems! The poem below has a bit I stole from her too...The backstory is that a woman's dog died and she couldn't bear to part with her. So she put her in her freezer. I like to imagine she saw her, and talked to her everytime she reached in for some frozen peas or ice cream...But eventually she brought Foxy Brown into the vet office where my cousin worked...!

Scornful Dogs Eat Dirty Puddings

At the porn shop Kristin baked erotic cakes poured chocolate into penis molds

And Foxy Brown was in the freezer

Light shining through

Word salad

Lying on the floor Tyler spouted a Burger King order in the midst of

His friend stabbed to death

And they killed that girl up in the woods of Massachusetts blamed it on ecstasy

I used to dream in those forests of rubbish rubber tires, used condoms, smell of pine
