“A Pinteress’ Someday,” by Katie Seeley

We can be modern day mannequins—

Malleable forms of constant perfection.
We are Stepford wives with a mouse’s click.
Pinterest allows us to be anything.

Renaissance women reorganizing:
homes transformed with wine corks and mason jars.
And don’t forget glitter. Always glitter.

a little box in the corner of the screen.
If you clicked it,
It beeped.
If you clicked out of it,
It beeped.
If you clicked around it,
It beeped.



“What We Are,” by Jordan Moffatt

We’re all just leaves
Waiting to fall

We’re all just guitars
Waiting to be played



“The end of my vampire boyfriend,” by Anna Della Zazzera

It was Monday
when you burned up,
in a swell of
fire and brimstone.

Apparently nosebleeds are associated with sexual arousal in Japan, so it’s really a visual cue for an erection.
