I stand, pretending to know the words. 9AM Sister Ricardo preaches the sanctity and struggle…

Matthew Guerruckey on the sexual abuse that made Don Draper who he is, as revealed in the latest episode of Mad Men.

Friday Fiction from Drunk Monkeys - Matthew Dexter with the surreal "Battling Vespula"

-Matthew Guerruckey, Drunk Monkeys

I snort dying hornets and watch the rest swarm from their honeycomb downward toward the daycare center where sweaty babies are soiling themselves beneath the noonday sun. Some are sucking thumbs, crawling on the triangular lawn. The teenager in charge lands a summersault and swats the wings of wasps...

Check out Gary Bloom's wonderful poem My Brain on the Drunk Monkeys website.

My brain Is flying all over the place bouncing off the ceiling climbing the walls it just wants to rest finally in one spot like a spitball firmly attached to the ceiling. Gary Bloom grew up in Minneapolis and attended Mankato (Minnesota) State University. He has been writing articles, short stories...
