A Space Riders AU Important Character Note
So, since this has been a thing recently, I figured I should prolly say something NO I AM NOT COMFORTABLE WITH PEOPLE MAKING CHILDREN OF MY OCS OR SHIPPING WITH MY OCS.
More details below the cut;
Amber Dawn 🇺🇸
trick or treat! ✨💖🕷️ a poem with femme vibes, please! (perhaps something sinister or edgy for the holiday 🖤)
ooh what a great prompt! i offer you “A Group of Sluts Is Called What?” by Amber Dawn (published in Where the World Ends and My Body Begins, 2015), but if you haven’t read Muse & What Do Women Want? by Kim Addonizio you should def check those out too :)
A GROUP OF SLUTS IS CALLED WHAT?
What I said I pretty much meant
What I am has multiplied and divided
What I stole has been taken away from me and
What I have stumbled upon has pleased me most
“Going Back,” Eli Coppola
Creampie is what I saw at the Kitten Theatre
a clutter of cats a kindle of kittens
a dole of turtles a dule of turtledoves
A what? a “gape” of porn stars is what I saw
This is the most used vowel in the English language
What is “schwa”? /ə/ ə/ ə/ in a French accent
like dis-le (say it) A what? a “slap”
of masturbators a “fairytale” of jacks
Looking back this was a blessed event
What I said I pretty much meant
the internet is a boner killer
everyone watches gang bangs from home
and the Kitten Theatre is now a Pottery Barn
Somewhere there are still dykes in ratty blonde wigs
working the brass pole, right? Somewhere a twink
in silver briefs teabags a widower’s eyelid?
My desire dates me I wanna go back to the 80s
(but without the cocaine). A what? a “stellar”
of bar stars a “heist” of queer diamonds
What I am has multiplied and divided
into personalities and paragraphs
line-by-line edits: I have an office key
I have a well-behaved Pomeranian
a set of Oneida flatware and yet a bullwhip
made of braided kangaroo hide I crack
off-colour jokes for kids who will never understand
the punch line I sleep tight with 5 mg of Ambien
What I have is imposter syndrome I still have
a proud scar I can still speak with a forked tongue
What I stole has been taken away from me and
a what? a “recall” of memories is what
remains do you remember when we all got bent?
a peep of chickens a clutch of chicks
A what? a “fluff” of aging sluts
A what? a “muff” of ex-lovers
all gathered on the same coast
the same city the same black-lit leather bar
the last homocile standing I’ll hold the ceiling up
with my spare hand my creampie is still grandiose
What I have stumbled upon has pleased me most
