Procedure
Madeline Zuzevich
when I get blisters on vacation I call it stigmata and walk into the pharmacy for more
medication
here there’s hurricane weather and cough syrup you want to know why

underneath us the fish look like snowflakes and the water gets into your mouth
like bleach I let it
burn my throat because it tastes like something that could
clean me
