I’ll start typing our sex again, that if
my mentality’s in working condition,
Those letterings will to plaster on neon lights,
transcending into those drawing chalks
of Union Pay, MasterCard and Visa.

Bonnie Stufflebeam’s The Way of Things was so meaningful and beautiful. I like the hopeful feeling it left me with, even though the subject matter was so dark.
“The Way of Things”, by Bonnie Jo Stufflebeam, is a small yet exquisite piece. There’s such a beautiful discordance between the oddness of the narrator’s situation and the ultimately, I think, hopeful conclusion.
I really loved “The Way of Things” by Bonnie Stufflebeam. It’s touching, sad, and hopeful all at the same time.
Mary Renzi’s Trilobites is awesome.
