<p>I am going to stop saying <em>titties</em> for bravado.</p>
<p>I will stop  strangling sculptures of babies.</p>
<p>It is very important that you make fun of the dried roses on my windowsill.</p>
<p>I need to feel like something is wrong with me again.</p>
<p>Slung over a woman is a girl in pink underpants.</p>
<p>Both their heads are wrapped in bandages.</p>
<p>I think my sister is innocent.</p>
<p>Erryone is.</p>

<p>A box arrives from Amazon, full of boys in yellow shirts that say <em>Jesus Saves At K-Mart</em>. The boys are hoarders. They are hoarding themselves inside this box. You can plant the boys in mud and from their eyes a nun with a mole on her hand will grow. You can put the boys in plastic bags and throw them on a snowy highway to make cars honk out the tune of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EymLq0htbL8">Just Wanna See His Face</a>. Let’s not do that. Let’s visualize a Nike swoosh in a blue sky and call it abstinence. Let&#8217;s take no hostages and shop lonely. There is a ceiling to every chandelier, but at least the ceiling is pink. The blue sky is contained under this pink ceiling. Sadly, the ceiling is faceless. Wanna know how I know?</p>

<p>Fell out of a red MG on my way to San Francisco in 1969 and got 16 stitches and a 70s bush. Landed at a blurry discotheque with Leda Leda Leda and her fat swan. Grabbed at her titties while she shook her black hair. Suddenly there were no titties because her hair was blonde. Obvi I am a soft heart in a jar of gefilte fish. Do you ever get the feeling that Jesus had six eyes? Stevie Nicks reclines under a black statue of Jesus and plots to win him back. I am rooting for her!</p>

<p>Paul Tunis (aka<em> da man</em>) and I collaborated on <a href="http://therumpus.net/2012/04/bones-by-melissa-broder-illustrated-by-paul-tunis-a-national-poetry-month-special/">a comic at The Rumpus</a>. But really I just wrote like 20 words and he spun them into a hot pink &amp; black existential inferno that manages to incorporate a giganto guinea pig, hot punk twinks &amp; the Manson fam into a window at Bergdorfs.</p>
<p>Next, some Dutch people got ahold of the comic and posted it on what looks to be a <a href="http://funkiblog.nl/vormgeving/5070-de-poeziecartoon-van-melissa-broder-en-paul-tunis-art">VERY hip and &#8216;relevant&#8217; blog</a> out of Amsterdam.  Feel hip. Feel relevant. Feel #ontzagwekkend. Have fooled the Dutch.</p>
<p>Also at The Rumpus is a super-thoughtful <a href="http://therumpus.net/2012/04/i-have-a-jaw-that-seeks-chunks/">review of MEAT HEART</a> by Matthew Zingg.</p>
<p>Made a mixtape for Electric Literature called <a href="http://electricliterature.com/blog/2012/04/16/mid-april-mix-by-melissa-broder/?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=mid-april-mix-by-melissa-broder">HOW TO AVOID A POETRY READING</a></p>
