The last time she took You out,
the garbage man picked You up.
They tried recycling You
but your zinc hide would not cooperate.
You lacked both ductility and malleability.

Somehow, You taught yourself
how to glare at potting soil until it turned
into rotting oil, then fish gills, then a living fish
that needed a home in your bathtub. You locked
your mom out, replaced her with your new catfish.
in the poem "Retrogradation of You" by Juliet Cook and Daniel G. Snethen

Happy last day of November! Alice Says Go Fuck Yourself Issue 5 is here!

"Their necks crimson like the red-tide
and in the midst of this rose-colored debacle
stood Moses, statuesque, his hoary beard crawling
with the syncopation of red spider mites dancing
to the tune of The Masque of the Red Death.

His tablets soaked in the brackish brine of the Red Sea.
Then Moses opened his mouth and Satan emerged
in the form of an enlarged Woodlouse
carrying a small red crib on its head
with a doll head inside the crib."

from "Paint It Red" by Juliet Cook and Daniel G. Snethen

if you don't bow down to the centipede leaders"

and re-charges them too. 
Her other pets are expandable
