To celebrate National Poetry Month, my friend Gina Abelkop (editor of Birds of Lace) and I are co-curating a project. Check out 30xLace, where we’ll be publishing a new poem each day for the whole month. We asked 30 of our favorite poets to share one of their poems, plus a recommendation for a book of poetry they love.
We have some wild and crazy and beautiful and strange and awesome work lined up. It’s going to be great, so check back every day throughout April!

Just the Tip

apoemaday:

by Carrie Murphy

She’s a Scorpio
so she brushes
her bangs over her eyes
because that’s mystery.
I have an A-cup
so I look like
a tomboy.
If you’re fat
& you lean over
your bellybutton grows
into a slit.
If you pee after sex,
you won’t get pregnant.
Smart girls go home
& bad girls go to bed.
Nice guys finish last
but really, they just
finish. Just the tip &
you’re bowlegged on the
way to the bathroom.
Everyone knows
that. Everyone
knows.

re-reading my old livejournal for a model of how to write about things without touching them directly.
