Anybody Would

written by: Katie Lewington

@lewington_katie

we are all attracted,
glaringly so
to the morally wrong

who chose the morals of our society anyway?

we need to have an opinion
to authorise our presence in a group
gossip not enough
this is abominable
this is wrong
etc.etc.etc.
attention grabbing headlines
the wives are scandalized

we all want to be loved
I'm not talking about sex

we crave affection
attention
a safe place to be understood.

Warren Alexander

Warren Alexander grew up in Brooklyn, NY in a standard two parent, one son, one daughter household, and still lives in New York City. He was identified as the first five-year-old cynic his kindergarten teacher had ever encountered. He did not like children’s books because, well, they were written for children. Because he was a terrible student, he did not have his choice of colleges. He looked at the subway map and chose the nearest four year school by distance, Baruch College. He studied with Thomas Keneally, Peter Carey, and E. L. Doctorow, among others at NYU, where he received his MA in creative writing. His satiric novel, Cousins’ Club, was a semi-finalist for 2017 BookLIfe Award for General Fiction. His work, Wrong Train, placed second for the 2016 Rick DeMarinis Short Story Award judged by Michael Matrone. He is currently working on a satiric novel about business.
