Gonna drop some smut a 04:20 EDT, because why not. This one's based on an old friend's tale about accidentally doing this to herself, after she'd been cutting Thai hots or habaneros or something like that. Originally in Horns #3 at @bullshitlit.bsky.social ("Cute. I'll take it.")

I observe Gergley’s glass hotel with a dreadful fascination. But the hotel offers no solution to the process of aging or the problem of death, only more weird stuff. Jack Crawford reviews Steve Gergley’s newest collection, THERE ARE SOME FLOORS MISSING, available now from @bullshitlit.bsky.social

new shit by Aoife Smith up on the site www.bullshitlit.com/post/two-poems-…
POEM WHERE HE IS A RAT

The rat is occupying a treadmill, crusading
for a piece of cheese he will never catch. If,
by some wonder, he achieves the glory of
teeth latching onto prize, it will be blue
cheese. The rat hates blue cheese. Though,
as long as the rat keeps straining there is
imagination of survival—which is not to be
confused with escape. Held like this the rat
dreams, and briefly, he is happy.
