MUSTH A male elephant leaves their family group when they react to puberty. Is my trunk long enough? They may live – but will live alone or with other males because they only interact with the family group when looking for a mate. They enter a selfish- state of increased testosterone and agression, which helps them gain dominance over other males. The irony of reproductive success. An evolutional stress test. Sometimes, the elephants even appear reassured and self- aware. Even

THERE AREN'T ANY FATHER FIGURES AVAILABLE UNTIL EARLY JANUARY I fantasized about you dying. I did it without trying; without crying; without fighting the feeling that the worse it was for you the better it would be for me. I warned people about you. Murder- suicide. Murder then suicide. We joked about how we would be murdered- suicided by you in our sleep. Barely able to see over the sink. Another drink. Violence in the streets. Barely able to defend myself. Hell, helpless.

BEFORE SCIENTOLOGY, TOM CRUISE WAS A CATHOLIC, LOSERS “For a better part of a decade, a San Francisco Bay Area drug ring sold tons of cocaine to the Crips and Bloods street gangs of Los Angeles and funneled millions in drugs profits to a Latin American guerilla army run by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, a Mercury News investigation has found.” - The San Jose Mercury News, August 18, 1996 The only missionary I like is the position.

All the streets around here read no outlet. We are cattle herded and forced to huff it down Clark where the blurry figures in passing cars point and gawk. If you're lucky, in the summer, you can hear the cars laugh at mom and me – and our bags of trash. Every time we pass the laundry mat, I am good to

PROOF OF ABORTION Dopehead decomposes while his uncle plays dominoes. Neither can contain their giggles when I bring skittles and soda to the game. Bunch of dudes in a dungeon. Prison fools prisoners to prison rules. As obvious as the poorly carved tattoos. Stained with shitty symbols and statements. The Aryan nation insignia along his tibia exposed when he reaches for his drug paraphernalia. Faded. Hate it. Can't say shit. Crack has a distinct smell – especially when the

JUDAS SEDUCES JESUS WHILE BATHING NUDE IN THE RIVER STYX Since the day I became a man, I repeatedly read the last rites for the boys from Duck Island. Every ghost I hear makes the same sound as the boy that Mike hit in the chest with a baseball bat for stealing his bike. The same noises he made when he curled into the fetal position; knees tucked, teeth sucked, begging for his mother. Might as well have been orphaned boys. Might as well have been orphaned, boy.
