Re: my gym teacher's philosophy of life

Also experienced the psychotic "Gym Teacher." The refusal of water, the running til puking, the forced taking of salt pills. It was abuse. Pure and simple. Once looked down at my 12-year-old arms and saw salt encrustations, the salt rejected by my better-knowing body... The position of "Teacher/Coac...

Re: Response to a Daughter Who Has Yet to Set Sail

You can only love them, and push their little boats out to sea.

WIP

I hope it’s worth it, this dying inside. Beer salt tobacco and then a moment of hunger—flour and fat's dour tickle. My ovaries are crippled, my eggs no good. I was life, the ball and feather falling multi-crumbled in the language of entropy, babies so terrible they’d suck murder from this cold, farm...
