  • A NEW WORD

    by ZURI and PORCHE

    Enlightened, yet still dumb
    to the surroundings. The
    ballistic words sang in
    a monotone voice, Neologism
    comes into play as we
    find a new word for
    love. Ratchet opportunist
    seeking to seize your attention.
    Laugh off zealous attempts.
    Lies are a gallant
    juxtaposition in mind. Give
    me an optimistic dance.
    Drop your petty xenophobic
    thoughts and be free.

  • AFTER ‘TRAIN IN THE SNOW’ BY CLAUDE MONET – 1875, OIL ON CANVAS

    by MIKCAEL

    The train looked like it was
    going to run somebody over and
    people were trying to get on it before
    it leaves.

  • AT THE TRAIN STATION

    by MIKCAEL and ZELLMAN

    enormous bug wings flew in
    circles. Jordan Air shoes. American flags
    at schools are ripped. People can’t preach themselves.
    God grows life. Sin curls under faith.
    Grass grows green and under. Pacers blue
    jerseys are really awesome. iPhones lay on.
    Hair lines high like Lebron like Zellman’s friends
    Mikcael and Luke.
    Versace, Versave, your hairline got shot.
    Girls, girls are lame.
    You dusty, you think
    fresh but now you are
    not fresh.

  • UNBREAKABLE KISSES

    by JAMMONICA

    Ever since you left it’s been very hard for me to stay strong. All those smiles, butterflies, giggling, blushing. All gone. I miss all those smiles. All my past reappears back in my life. You took them all with you when you left. Although I loved the way you made smiles when you took me out to the movies and acted like the characters in the movies. I’d laugh so hard we’d get kicked out of the movie theater. I miss the sound of your laugh.

  • WINTER WALKS

    by ZURI

    Frost covers eyelashes and shattered glass

    Tears frozen

    Rhythm of feet on pavement mix
    with the beats of a busted
    up drum, still sounding.

    My life’s music is still
    off-beat.
