A small delightful comment about "From One Ruined Human to Another"
"last night's read: I love this kind of fearless writing. How do I nominate the title poem for a Pushcart?

Suck My Dick
Today was one of those days where I received two poetry rejections in one day (which really shouldn't bother me, because last week I got two poetry acceptances in one day; so the only reason it ever so slightly bothers me is because now I only have two In-Progress submissions via submittable and not much else to submit) - got bothered by lack of in-depth communication - got bothered that a lot of what seems important and meaningful to a lot of people does not feel very important or meaningful to me - and accidentally screwed up my own usual detail-oriented self by joining a giant group I had purposely left a few years ago.And now I feel overly angry at myself and at groups and I feel like saying that big casual groups can suck my dick (even though I don't have a dick).And then I get self-questioning and wondering what my deal is, because I get on guys cases kind of a lot for using the word pussy as an insult (as though calling some other guy a pussy indicates that other guy is weak, even though anyone who has had much experience with pussy should know that pussy isn't weak), yet here's my brain semi-randomly blurting out, "suck my dick!" when I get angry, which doesn't make much sense, because #1 I don't have a dick and #2 what turned dick sucking into an angry insult?I could analyze #2 from various perspectives, but I'd rather post photos (not dick pics).In non-dick news,even though it was one of those days, I did get Thirteen Myna Birds updated, so that's most certainly something, whether or not it means anything to the standard Tom, Dick, and Harry.

Burke, Jacalyn Shelley, and Bonnie MacAllister!"Mania gave me summer in an envelope - There’s a death in the air floating up towards our window - She dives into brackish lagoons - before the transition to zero - missing limbs, now sprinkling down - Feathers on fire - beauty burnt to bone - against the swollen moon with talons full - a scarecrow shaken off her cross - A grandfather clock ticks endless quiet - I sit captive between gargoyles - unregulated wasp nests - burbling liquid - No one else will ever want to kill me like I do - I burn full on into the sea - a bloody-funnel-fringed nose - blood orange-red down the hollow of my throat - eyes pecked-out by birds - A giddy foot, levitating for a while..."Dive or sink down under the latest flight, HERE - https://13myna.blogspot.com/
