i identify as pain in the ass, jump scare, the only person not aligned with “family values.” i identify as your worst fucking nightmare. - nat raum, poem in which i terrify boomer @gr8earlofhell.bsky.social kithbooks.com/shop/p/withgasoline
with gasoline
by nat raum
cover: a pink and black molotov cocktail against of background of blue, with white text.

poem in which i terrify boomers
a villanelle

i identify as worse for wear.
only two genders? then i shall choose:
i identify as your worst fucking nightmare.

mediocre male gospels hang thick in the air
and the boomers are still bottle-fed by fox news.
i identify as worse for wear.

i identify as pain in the ass, jump scare,
the only person not aligned with “family values.”
i identify as your worst fucking nightmare.

i switch the code ten times daily, so keenly aware
of how i would be treated were i to refuse.
i identify as worse for wear.

but it’s just an opinion, and fair is fair—
you don’t really think i believe that, do you?
i identify as your worst fucking nighmare.

i am beyond your thoughts and prayers.
you are the scum i scrape off my shoes.
i identify as worse for wear.
i identify as your worst fucking nightmare.

Thanks @selizabeth.bsky.social and @jamesolearypoet.bsky.social for including my poem about my ex getting hot sauce in my vagina in this excellent issue of GARLAND!
Hot Ones
Ally Ang
While watching Jinkx Monsoon and BenDeLaCreme on Hot Ones, I recall the time my ex got hot sauce in my vagina. We had eaten burritos slathered in Tapatio, then smoked until we were deliriously high, then started having sex. He put his fingers inside me. He must not have washed his hands with sufficient vigor. This was not the only time his thoughtlessness hurt me, but it was by far the funniest. My hole began to tingle. Then to burn. Then to burn.
I was so stoned, everything was in slow motion. I wondered if I had been struck by a rapid-onset deadly sexual infection or necrosis of the vulva, if my genitals were about to fall off. As ambivalent as I felt about my genitals, I realized at that moment that I did not actually want them gone-or if they were to be removed, it would be on my terms. By this time, his mouth was on me and the pain was sharp and excruciating. I gotta go to the bathroom, I mumbled, or perhaps I didn't say anything and simply extricated myself from his body and bolted into the shower, spreading myself open with one hand and aiming the showerhead with the other, blasting my hole with icy water until the burn began, mercifully, to subside. It might have felt good if I hadn't been convinced that I was dying. I don't remember if he apologized afterwards, if we resumed having sex. I think we did.

Reading and selecting the poems for this issue was a such a treat. These writers blew me away with their thoughtfulness and creativity around ekphrasis and what it can be. Highly recommend reading the issue and sending @gr8earlofhell.bsky.social a tip on ko-fi for letting us curate this space
