Left-Handed
lincolnneal:
i can do a few sweet things left handed. shoot and throw, for instance. in many ways i am more exact with my left hand and as a kid i wanted to grow up to be ambidextrous. but i’m not. close, but not quite. i have a new notebook, and in it i’m only writing left handed. i have a few tonight.
Just a little back story for those who might be slightly curious as to why I am tagging...

Mothers Go In
lincolnneal:
mothers go in
where babies
are out where
mothers go in and
ladies come out and
there are
no men
and
cell phones are
banned where
storks do
not land and
i just can’t stand where
mothers go in
and everything
ends. sometimes
it depends

Love is Like Food
so why did
you come here.
to cry? to
stare? to
be locked in
a room and fed
with tubes?
to sit and wail
in your room and
grow hair? my
hirsute waif,
i leave out
the worst of the illness
just like this. does it
prove i care? metaphors
get mad when you pretend
they aren’t there

the women of the nearby village

witch, which they did

so the village men did it again

I am— slightly— worried about New York. I hope it turns out to be silly. I have a lot of friends there. Like a lot, a lot. Like, pretty much everyone I know. And, much like New York itself, they are a little more squishy and emotional and awesome than they’d ever admit, believe it or not.

Eating With Our Fingers
lincolnneal:
at the stream
you don’t fin
fish, just
place them in baskets
for dinner. you can’t clean. i hunt.
through a field.
some sort of grain.
the game eats things
i can’t gather. in the
river is clay. we
cook bricks and plates
and tuck in, always
eating everything with our fingers

Red Ants
red ants bite.
it is basic math that
3 + 7 equals don’t rile
them. science predicts
lawnmowers slay
garter snakes. it is proved they can
fly. by then they must
match our understanding mathematically
within a
measurable differential, confirmed
independently
by children stomping
on red ant hills and aardvarks possibly.

A Small Public Service/ Answering A Question Not...
I see a lot of talk on here about self publishing. And all that talk is fine. However, I’m reasonably certain most of you would like to have someone else publish your book. As we all know, there is no money in publishing poetry. So, for most publishers it is more a labor of love, or a labor of credibility. So, they are generally interested in writers who have a demonstrated respect for the...
