iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Anthea was saying to me "It feels like 2014 around here" and that was so true I time-traveled and found one of my old slam poems. "An Open Letter to Belle Knox from the Comments Section" ecc-poetry.tumblr.com/post/8295899...

“Belle Knox” was a Duke University freshman when she got into the adult entertainment industry to pay her student loans.

An Open Letter to Belle Knox
From the Comments Section

If you’re so smart, Ms. Duke 2013,

why did I decide you were so stupid

after refusingtolistento half of what you said

and casting the remaining 5 0 %

in the squat bulbs of a porn studio?

You can squirm all you want;

I’m here to ask the tough questions,

the hard questions,

the rock hard throbbing

questions

and you just have to liethereandtakeit—

Ms. Knox, you shouldn’t be surprised

people found out what you do.

You shouldn’t be surprised

they tell you to drop out of school,

tellyoutodropdeadtellyouthey’lldropyoudead

why don’tyou think about us for a change?

We can’t imagine girls like you servingour

coffeeandsittingnexttousathelibraryandbuild

ingsatellites whenyoushouldbe bookmarked

in spilt semen and set aside–

Ms. Knox, please be quiet! I’m trying to

masturbate.

I am minimizing the window

you have just gotten choked in; I’m trying to

make you disappear. I keep

tryingtomakeyouobjectbut Ifindyouwatching

me out of the cornersof screens .

Ms. Knox, why do you sell yourself ?Whydo

you set your own price? Stop tellingme you

enjoyed it: violation is the only thing

gettingmeoffanymore. I see you

shard-splayed,kitchen mess, waste of girl

next door. Nice girls can go to college and

must be great at sex but hate doing it;

bad girls must befuckingphenomenalatsex

buthatedoingitbadgirlsarepixilatedmneyshot

andgoodgirlsare my mother

AND I DON’T WANT TO THINK ABOUT

FUCKING MY MOTHER––

Ms. Knox, you frighten me to my core.

Ms. Knox, you dumb fucking whore.

Dumb as in mute , mute as in nothingtosay

foryourself, Ms. Knox, I notice you have

nothing to say for yourself

that I am willing to listen to.

New Miss Translated poem: "milo / milagros"

milo / milagros
elisa chavez

Valientes chicas.
No es justo.
Las pasan platos
hasta que se caen;
entonces, señalan
las oportunidades en fragmentos.
Se llama "el bienestar."

Dulces chicas.
La mayor toma la mano
de la menor, aquí en el pasillo
de puertas cerradas.
Recuerdo con dolor
las palabras amargas que yo di
a mi hermana cuando tenía
la misma edad.

Chicas de acero y flores.
Chicas de carne y miedo.
La menor me muestra su labubu,
luces y canción.

Regreso a casa. La máquina sigue.

Pass the pearls
and tiny violins.
My Lord–yeah, no polis
needs this guy,
no city-state. Send him
all the forgivenesses he gave.
He called himself a "star";

well, now decay is due.
It may be different for a man
who hadn't honed his minor key
to crushing cruelties.
Remember the pain
his bitter words have caused?
He's not my brother, he's
a miasma;

steals the flowers
and now he's afraid for his flesh.
I won't say boo about injustice
this time.

Score one for the machine.

I can't say it feels "good" to see a story that's been digging at me for years is finally getting more attention--not when the story is so tragic and senseless. But it does feel a little less like screaming into a void.

Yes, after every episode of HPMORALOR I think of at least three things I could have said better and two documentaries I want to recommend, and that's more or less what my show notes are.

This is fantastic. Per the creator: "I wrote a lot of it in a hotel in Milwaukee, posted a prompt here when I got stuck, which generated more writing, and then I wrote more, edited, and wove everything together. It's authored as Public Collectors and I see it as a collective text."

renee good / goalposts
elisa chavez

Tu esposa dice que relucías,
y dios sabe que
necesitamos la luz.

Tu madre dice que cuidabas
de otres toda tu vida,
que podías perdonar y perdonar.

¡Ay, mamá! ¡Ay, mujer!
Jinete del coche en las calles,
poeta bella. Hay jaulas
para todes nosotres ahora.

Tu eres una perla de collar
demasiado largo.
Lamento los nombres
como rosario de sangre.
Pienso que los lamentarías también.
Pienso que perdonarías
aun a tus asesinos,
si pudieras.

She was driving an explosive.
Two tons of Subaru barreling
at three-point-turn speed.

And if she wasn't doing that
she was steaming in a sous vide
of anti-policing prejudice.

And if she wasn't doing that
she was jingling in the streets,
striking bell-hollow fear
in the hearts of our agents.

And if she wasn't doing that
she was affronting the family.

And if she wasn't doing that

she was smirking.

HEY YOU! Have you been thinking to yourself, "Gosh, in today's world that seems to unrelentingly punish the good and reward the unrighteous, I could use a few more coping skills"? MAY I RECOMMEND the Arts-Based Survival Skills zine, curated by Sien Mendez? heyzine.com/flip-book/93...

Beige zine cover whose title is written in magazine cutout letters: "arts-based survival skills." The subtitle, on torn notebook paper, reads: "a zine of collected skills shared by artist-change-makers in community with each other in the spring of 2025."

Babe wake up new poem just dropped: www.tumblr.com/ecc-poetry/7...

the christian nationalists try it at Cal Anderson Park
Elisa Chavez

Bitter, beatitude, bullets
whiz through the promo,
serpent apostolics in HD.
We are all god’s army now,
drill sergeant clapping on the 3 and the 1
as the mob raises their arms to–

Dominion, duplicity, demesne.
They pelt us with invisible rocks
and jeer as the cops throw us down.
(Did that happen in Jerusalem, once?)
This season Christ comes not with love
but brass bells.
They bellow “unclean”
and puppet his cross-bitten lips to say–

Canticle, cauterize, charism.
The worship warriors debrief in Oregon,
manufacturing purpose.
A young woman cries and I believe her.
She says “marked,” she says “body
of Christ.” A boy is called up
to tell stories of knives
only he can see–

Martyring, mislaid, monopoly.
We call no answer right because
it doesn’t answer everything.
They call no answer wrong
within the playbox of the mind.
Their church-pit is made of lava
and they pray for the salvation
of nothing.
Heads I win, tails you are scattered,
you demon, you dust, you–

Precognition. Pickling. Pricked.
Of course I have the power of prophecy;
it’s called a rearview mirror.
My god is still the god
of phase change and pink hair dye,
of punks in the park screaming gospel.
At the feasting-table of right and wrong
there are high places reserved
for the cop-trodden, the chrysalists.
When Christ died and rose again,
was he the same Christ or was he trans–

substantiated?
