"I recognise my presence as a student and creative on the land of Native peoples, including the Miami Nation (Myaamia), the Citizen Potawatomi Nation (Bodéwadmiké), the Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma, and the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas (Kiikaapoi), all of whom continue to thrive and educate." ~ Jillian A. Fantin

Monologue of a Vegas Show Girl

a hammock made of bodies!
​
holographic dolphins
tinsel portals
grown of / chicken wire
tissue paper boas /
scrunched gunpowder
Who Wants To Die
For Shower Curtain Burlesque?
 
as brillo pads icicle into g-strings /
pointe shoes crumble
and revues watermelon jerky /
my heather sweet’s in sandworm drag
​rubber glove squirmin
this jubilee!’s a tightlacer
measures her legs by days /
vomit by the wind
 
crescent me / scrub me
plink the molting crayons
and burn hatchlings
ribbon the saran wrap
until i bend / until
i crook into a staff.
 
y’know jubilee! jubilee!
let’s tits your save in resin

Portrait of the Artist as a Trash Gambit

the setting sun in Don’t Know City shows everything but--
that is, a lightbulb named elaine who drugs grapefruit juice
 
//
 
if you have enough cavities you can play chess in your mouth
says french lace dollnoface // she plugs in // asks
what sort of bolo tie you think you are // (faux fur, the kind
where green neons // and animals still die) // beep
 
beep beep // goes the nowhere train // lightbulb elaine
wasp corsets her paracord cheekfiller // i wanna know
how the FUCK you got a WASP into a CORSET //
 
dickless croquet balls nylon // rodeos vinegar pie
// as a headless comma wanes to fractured hangnail
in frantic fishnet foam suspension // is she
the Mistress Starbeam or a starsick midriff
 
//
 
you say she’s cotton and threatened to burn the studio--
who are you calling                                   POLLUTED

Party Penis

​lampshades bonevein
the watercolour wangs
House of Fluff homewares
squeak in botched hairline
 
KNEEL
 
to honeycaked Priapus,
silk n sheer ball bonnets,
deflated bubbles waiting
for a taffy plumping
 
squirmles and Peppa Pink
worship jizz confetti
(those Good Vibrations)
for fudge flooded rivers
and an apricot farm
 
o cherrypink Priapus,
do you coin operate? token
shimmy? foodgrade glitter?
or do you
    slipper Lady
Footfucker, canopy
waterslide beds,
squish mochi testes
in pastel hairshirt?
 
            KNEEL
 
ah Priapus, scuffknee sacrifice
for a Streep she-devil Priapus,
uncut n bubblegumbitchy,
pomegrant us
just one lubeslick kiss
 
before we pepto abysmal
in your forever sludge--
 
all prostrate prostates
and      raspberry ripple dipsticks
