Dead Meat On A Stick

written by: Steve Green

@Word_Massager

Don’t tell me Jesus was not pissed
when that son of a bitch Judas
betrayed his bff with a kiss

And don’t give me that
he died for our sins bullshit

I’m not buying that narrative

Our species did what we always do

Execute prophets of peace
throughout our bloody history
for preaching love and equality
to the cheers of the adoring beasts
who will slaughter the messenger eventually

Cause you see
violence is so ingrained in our DNA
we butcher those who seek
evolutionary acceleration
of this knuckle scraping species

Former interactive human being. Now just watching the wheels go round and round while trying not to repeat my mistakes. I have all new ones.

Lou Storey

A textbook example of nominative determinism, Lou Storey has always been a storyteller, a fact well illustrated in his art and in his writing. His careers have reflected that as well, first as a creator of idea-based exhibitions for museums, and later as a psychotherapist employing narrative therapies. His art and his writing share qualities of rich texture and detail, examining our capacity to be absurd while allowing a measure of forgiveness for our foibles. Storey and his husband Steve retired in 2021 and moved from New Jersey to Savannah Georgia. “We love everything about Savannah, it is like a city that looks like a park and thinks it’s a small town. Best of all, we can grow bananas in the backyard!”

Treats Only, Please! by Lauren Scott

Creepy cackles from tall, looming trees
startle their jumpy heartbeats as they walk.
Shadows discreetly follow the echoes
while they timidly proceed down the block.

Young voices repeat with conviction,
“It’s just a night for entertainment.”
There’s no need for goosebumps and fear
as their eyes focus on the cracked pavement.

Undeniably sensing they’re not alone,
many follow in their hesitant footsteps,
eager to reach doors and push doorbells
but afraid of frightening special effects....
