DEEP MADDER

Here's the thing: the point of making the zine a mere one page was so that we'll always get it done. thus, we have no excuse. so at the end of the month we always need to finish one, no matter how shitty it is. what do you think? this is what i think.

Would you (anyone who reads this other than the two writers [i.e. no one]) please contribute to the second issue of

If you wanna travel around
do it in your frown
crawl through all your bones
'cause there's no eternal spring
and the new blossoms will die
like a first or faithless love
don't go off with that prince
and forsake your good husband
your babies will grow old
and there's no greener grass
for you to find at last
there's no grand reward

Growing Up

before you know it your life will become mundane
abandoning appreciation of itself in a magic way
the way you used to look at things
before you’d seen them all before
the way you weren’t then so proud
and how you didn’t talk so loud
but your lungs have become stone walls
around the gasps you take before
your heart sings in the blue of
the new moment that’s coming for you

"It's important to acknowledge your real feelings, so give yourself permission to wallow a little bit if you're feeling extra sad or lonely. The key words here are 'a little bit.' Don't allow yourself to dwell or obsess. Confine your wallowing to a certain time period -- say, 15 minutes of self-pity and that's it."
