'Truth: you sought now. You got soon.
Your own no hurts. Shoot, your worth grows horns
hunts shun. No toy guns shout, no not-toy guns
short sons or oust youth to urns.
Worn-out, your hurts nosh your sun.
Turn you un-on.'

I mean this really hits my aesthetic so fucking well

some personal news: staying very tender

'Do you know what it's like to have to confront yourself like that? It would be so much easier if you'd given me what I asked for. If you could have covered my face with another face, just for that day'

From Megan Baxter's 'All Made-up'

Congratulations to our past contributor Claire Polders on being published in DIAGRAM!

“We don't get BBQ, iced tea, or medical, not free. I could name the chemical company, but I will not. It rhymes with Poo Font.” Loved this.
