You made the wrong turn
“You made the wrong turn,” is what you say. It’s a death sentence. It’s more than an accurate accusation, it feels worse than a flagrant violation one could’ve made in an important soccer match, something that could make a whole crowd burst into a riot if justice isn’t swiftly met.

Dear best friend
Dear best friend, Good morning, or good afternoon, which I know it’s afternoon for you. I wrote this piece on my Jewish identity and generational trauma I hope when you’re free to read it, you enjoy it. I miss our collaborations; I really miss reading your work and your stories. I’m getting so damn sick of this.

Hunt
Like perfectly wrapped cellophane, you preserve us all inside your hallowed stone sanctuary. The dizzy, dry-mouth, too sweet coloration inside that remind one of too many chemicals and preservatives and fulgurating nature of this sort of hell-house that is insinuating us of its nature with a blinking lighted entrance at the front door, ———WELCOME ONE & ALL!———like an incessant wink of a licentious, creepy, old person… and the sensory overload of it all makes me want to run far away. But I can’t.
