LAUREN CRISTO

A LOAD OF IT

I hear that you
don’t have to get
a mail order bride
from Vietnam or
Russia if you have
enough camo and two propane
tanks in a dug out.

My best friend
who I am not at all
sexually attracted
to in any way but
just have a
healthy
heterosexual
admiration for
drives the biggest truck and
all four of his
children are trained in artillery
fire and hand to
hand combat

For when the
breakdown of
civic law comes

We sometimes
drink beer by
conglomerate
corporations
pandering to our
low self esteem
and talk about
how traditional
families will keep
our traditional
hope alive
Though
there’s nothing traditional
about us

I got a body
And a ticket to earth
