'Performance' by Charlotte Hughes
(excerpt)
Read the full piece in the magazineWe had gone to the aviary in the empty country
an hour away because you said
it was the sort of thing interesting people did,
and in that green gazebo smelling of honey
and hay, sacks of birdseed slashed in the middle,
you cupped both your stubbed fingers to the glass
and leaned over the chipped guardrail, though
not on your tiptoes. All you could see
was a sparrow, a single one, picking the dirt
then looking up at you, unblinking. I saw it
chirp, sing to you like it loved you, with its onyx eyes
and mouth gilded with millet kernels.
'Click Here to Get Ripped' by Owen McLeod
(excerpt)
Read the full piece in the magazinePlay the lottery. Pray all you like.
Odds are, tomorrow you’ll be stuck
in some basement washing socks.
Remember when we let Jesus
into our hearts? That lasted, what,
three months? Now we’re on eBay,
selling industrial corn starch
in jars labeled Muscle Builder Max.
'Minimum Wage' by Matthew Dickman
(excerpt)
Read the full piece in the magazineMy mother and I are on the front porch lighting each other’s cigarettes
as if we were on a ten-minute break from our jobs
at being a mother and son, just ten minutes
to steal a moment of freedom before clocking back in, before
putting the aprons back on, the paper hats,
washing our hands twice and then standing
behind the counter again,
hoping for tips, hoping the customers
will be nice, will say some kind word, the cool
front yard before us and the dogs
in the backyard shitting on everything.
'Happy' by Jill McDonough
(excerpt)
Read the full piece in the magazineWe can make each other happy, Harry Nilsson screams
from our speakers, and I say, Oh, Harry: no we can’t.
We turn it up, drive up the coast with the windows
down, sing every part, even the wack-ass Whoa–oa-oa
-oa-oh!s. I had never heard of Harry Nilsson, being
younger than Josey, a fact I mention as often as I can.
Like me, it never gets old. So I knew all the songs,
didn’t know they were all by one guy.
