Free Entry 2, Week 1

Bestiality

Try as you might to father a demi-god
you love me because I live on this mount
and cannot find another mate with palatable skin,
am so prego that I can only rock on my belly.

You taste of burnt cow tongue when we french
but I can give moisture to you.
I barely touch the floor with toenails and finger tips
and continually swell with milk and tears to gush forth.

All the while you are searching for a fox to rape,
for most foxes are revenge seeking goddesses,
presenting you with quite the plight,
a horny fox searching for swans to plunder and drain.

I hope you never find a willing vessel;
you should forever want to climb me, mount me
as I yelp “No, I mean maybe yes,” yes I have
rape fantasies for you to fulfill; I’ll create your legion of demi-gods,
your own terrible twos with adequate strength, but not your humanity.

Our feats are marked by bondage code word macaroni
and cheese orange, all so you can leave me tongue-tied
and you finished and ready to go off again.

Try as you might to father demi-gods
You will never again desire a mate with skin
akin to a freshly washed peach, cool and soft.
You will remember the smell of throw up soon to lodge in your nostril
upon eating my fruit and not realizing the puncture underside,
oh my rotten insides. Give me up to throw up.
Your rot must eat you out.

Strategy Response, Week 10

Kathy Fagan’s strategy in dealing with clichés follows the strategy we are often taught, to inject fresh language into and around the cliché in order to personalize the phrase. Fagan does this every couple of poems, even developing an entire poem off the phrase “a monkey on her back” (2) in "Womb To Tomb Pantoum." This use of clichés makes the diction of Fagan’s poetry very casual and familiar, but the personalization of the clichés makes the specific language pop out with originality. Fagan takes the phrase “’pretty on the inside’” (19)in reference to girls that aren’t stereotypically beautiful and lets it reference specifically “the ones” (19)in "'69." Moments like this make Fagan’s poetry comfortable to an American audience, yet intriguing. If for no other reason, I continue to read Fagan’s work just to absorb how she twists clichés and trite phrases. When you catch one in her work, you expect her to twist the language into something that feels familiar, yet ...

Improv 1, Week 2

My favorite part of Carolyn Forche's "For the Stranger": "Wiping ovals of breath from the windows in order to see ourselves, you touch the glass tenderly wherever it holds my face. Days later, you are showing me photographs of a woman and children smiling from the windows of your wallet." Lions Don't Fly Planes The crack made by our navy blue coach seats allows for me to stick my tongue out at my future girlfriend, sick of popping ears and smelling of spearmint, having filled two barf bags with peanuts and canned juice, stuck every finger in the ash tray as her mother reads a Time, and tired of kicking my seat with kickball passion. When we arrive in Minnesota, I may offer her a spot in my carry on with Floppy, or just give her my uneaten pretzels.
