Flashing sirens. Grayback whale road clot as we heave ourselves past litterbugs and drones. Then portpuss and overbearing cyclops. Concrete canal with no visitors. Skeletal pitchfork, orange vests. We head skyward towards a wrong turn. My familiar angles our body for exit. We miss the clouds by inches. 11 underground shiny city drag Hollow warehouse, shard road, twilight. In this slab city, diners lose doors, metal plumage trade sculptors. Grainy rain does not fall. Corn, frystick, brown rice squeeze to drink. Muralist prints her shoulders onto pale butcher paper and hawks them as portraits of the famed. Words hide in boxes tame to ground, broke into sandstone slabs destroyed by hint of water. Desert motel signs gloom over empty troughs of water. Slap bodies oil and battle, sizzle and wrinkle. Then you step forward. Ring of light, rot wood stage. All shark eyes on your suited figure. You step to microphone and twirl. Your debonair hat falls past your eye. 12 Kenyatta Rogers Conjunction And maybe it’s because we don’t believe in streetlamps anymore that you curl into me like shrimp trapped in the trunk of a Chevy. I sleep better because of it. And when that girl yelled at me from across the field you told me to yell back. You lost your glasses, so you bought contact lenses and never wear them, you’re doing great— you’re fine, you’re wonderful there’s nothing wrong here. And there’s many things like this. Please stop crying at all the dead deer on the roadside. This makes me sad, this makes me like you a lot. We stood in the shower until all the hot water was gone. Where’s the person who keeps breaking into my car? How did I spend $98 at Red Lobster? You drove me; I wanted to go because they’ll all be closed soon. I’m here by myself. I’ll be awake until 3 in the morning. I need to make sense of it. 13 After Whiskey I want to tell your teeth something about ivory and your waist something about my waist. The lines in my hand tell me I’ll have a divorce and live a long life, but the lines in my hand separate my hand into four parts and I was never told in school why the lines in my hand even exist or what teeth are made of or why I like certain parts of your body more than most men’s. I don’t write poems about sex anymore than I write poems for people I know. And I really don’t know you as well as I’d like. My stomach feels sick when a few hours ago it didn’t. I keep finding your hairs everywhere. I keep refusing to wash the sheets on the bed. 14 Michael Homolka A History of Art There is Christ’s birth there is Christ’s death a few sedatives in between Eventually an architectural annunciation beam (a bluebird flaps overhead) and the voices of everyone who slightly irritate me 15 Eric Weinstein Memory Leak The machine stays up all night writing poems smoking some it spawns a billion threads of execution little tales it tells itself in tale zero it sails from island to island in an archipelago linked by green arrows of algae In tale one it is a blue fork of lightning whose ends reach into the head of every child in the neighborhood and install imaginary friends a sheep a robot made of bottle caps The machine constructs these artificial histories but never deletes one One memory runs into the next bioluminescent algae fill the neighborhood pools a robot sails for the New World in a stiff breeze The humans wake to find one billion machine poems overflowing the hard drive the last one reading I would grow human teeth of my own and dissolve them I would send signals directly into your heart 16 If You Should Ever Think to Please My Ghost If, after I depart this vale, you ever remember me and have thought to please my ghost, forgive some sinner and wink your eye at some homely girl. — H. L. Mencken Tackle the first old man you find emerging from Fancy Tony’s Gentleman’s Club him repeatedly in the chest with a Bible Shout Grandpa, I’ll save you as you do this * Eat one jelly bean at a time until you determine the maximum volume you can safely contain Record this number in a secret location Repeat this annually on Yom Kippur * Create a corporation dissolve it ideally in acid so as not to leave evidence Change your name and move to a ghost town in Texas alert the local authorities recommend the death penalty * Yell Mr. Zuckerberg tear down this wall! Or else friends will make yearly pilgrimages to my Facebook page I don’t want that Photograph of me smiling with a beer dispensing hat persisting in the Internet’s infinite memory forever * Don’t visit my grave there won’t be one of these days come on out to the ocean Say Man at least one of his atoms is out there Say If that isn’t nice then I don’t know what is 17 Amy Woolard A Place Where There Isn’t Any Trouble Girl walks into a house & comes out running.

  • When Parody and Reality Collide: Examining the Effects of Colbert's
    International Journal of Communication 7 (2013), 394–413 1932–8036/20130005 When Parody and Reality Collide: Examining the Effects of Colbert’s Super PAC Satire on Issue Knowledge and Policy Engagement Across Media Formats HEATHER LAMARRE University of Minnesota See the companion work to this article “Shifting the Conversation: Colbert’s Super PAC and the Measurement of Satirical Efficacy” by Amber Day in this Special Section Following the 2010 U.S. Supreme Court landmark decision on campaign finance (i.e., Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission), political comedian Stephen Colbert took to the airways with a new kind of entertainment-based political commentary; satirical political activism. Colbert’s creation of a super PAC garnered the attention of national media, providing him the opportunity to move his satire beyond the confines of his late- night comedy show (The Colbert Report). Transcending traditional boundaries of late- night political comedy, Colbert appeared in character on a variety of political talk shows. Meta-coverage of this collision between parody and reality begs the question: Do audiences who consume Colbert’s super PAC parody in different media contexts demonstrate significantly different effects? Using data from a Web-based experiment (N = 112), effects of consuming Colbert’s super PAC satire in different media contexts (political comedy show, political talk show) were compared. Results indicate that consuming Colbert’s super PAC parody in the context of his comedy show resulted in significantly higher levels of issue knowledge and support for campaign finance reform when compared with those who consumed Colbert’s super PAC parody in the context of a political talk show (Morning Joe).
