Arlene Ang & Valerie Fox
Some Bad Life

1 April 2010

I keep dreaming this is all some bad life.
Local greeting: Hi. Lament: Woe to me.
The eclipse confused us. We didn't know how much time passed
or how to communicate this to anyone else.

You brought out the worms in me.
And I used to have two good arms for waving goodbye.
I wasn't even supposed to be on that fistfight back to Philadelphia.
I was supposed to be Dracula in a real movie.

The first three years aren't separated into months, more like meals.
Possession and marriage are interchangeable.
I am liable to think that this is all Eve's fault.
We're all still here eating the apple, and we really hate apples.

The words brains and more-brains are your limitations.
I'm not as lucky. I can relate.
There have been five pictures left in that camera for months now.
This has nothing to do with severed limbs.

 
*
 

There's no chance for a change in television now.
The smell of rot in this small room is our rightful children.
What an exciting finish to a fulfilling day, a right rented one.
A dulling thud follows me, like this.

About Arlene Ang & Valerie Fox


Arlene Ang and Valerie Fox started plagiarizing each other about six years ago. Not long after, they made honest women out of each other and started assigning each other’s names to zombies on a regular basis. They are motivated by a constant hunt for brains, and also the challenge of amusing and confusing witnesses. Characters with names like Richard Sanderson, The Rev, and even Bunny Elliot populate both of their heads. They have published collaborative writing in magazines such as Admit 2, Origami Condom, Per Contra and qarrtsiluni.
