Prolit

a literary magazine about money, work, & class

in a fight

pain is not is. not is is politics. is politics is editorial policy. you
should editorialize my body to be edited until man manuscript.
luridly you have been imagining my alienation from my wish
that i wish i did not have time for this. very beautiful my blood
drips down my soft neck. aesthetics is not not not enough.


application cover letter

you have been me before watching bodyswap tv and i have been
spitting blood three thousand years. ours is fossilizing into biting
so skin breaks into bank vault into the isn’t a person place. lately
i have been feeling like a communist girl and would very much
very appreciate any very funding for this very public arts project.
