in the meatspace days
of home movies
& surround sound
i fell for your
analog signals
twice
a little glitch
involving
a hyper modern
infomercial hack
&
i rejected
digital currency
&
design software
so
retronymical
everything’s
different now
*
now
we
bluesky the season -
we just throw things
up on the board
(it’s insane)
then we follow
down the line
of the lgbtqi writers
in the room
we only have
one straight male
in the room
it’s
a very
addictive show
our audience -
younger crystal addicts
who laugh their way
through it
& get hooked
the buzz at the end
leaves a good taste
in your mouth
there’s a lot of fun
between the characters
that’s
the wonder
of the show
it’s
like
a new language
we’ve taken off
game of thrones
you know
we wish there was a party
pulling on the heartstrings
so
you go
into the room
with an open vein
my husband says
yeah you got that
that’s us
husband to husband
pushing the tone
horrific stories
about women for women
when the harassment stuff
blew up
not super comfortable
not being too creepy
not being
too issue-of-the-week
& earnest about it
we’re getting
younger & younger
