Hiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!! Okay, this one is very much a response to all of the amazing work in our 🌸 HOT PEOPLE HAVE A SPRING AWAKENING 🌸 issue + Larissa’s painted poem + an eerie precursor to a very exciting new PTK squatter (who has ✨ a novel ✨ coming out!!) who will be taking over the newsletter this Friday!!!

CAN I EXCLAIM ANY MORE?!!!!??!?!!!!!!????!?!!?!?!!!!!!?!?!?!!!!!?!!

Lauren Conrad saying "Homebody wore combat boots to the beach"

“It’s far harder to kill a phantom than a reality.” - Virginia Woolf

“Homeboy wore combat boots to the beach. I know you don’t want to call that your boyfriend.” - Lauren Conrad

I would care if you died!!!

this is a chorus phonetically similar 
that isn’t 
       about men’s footwear (or lack thereof)
       & the specifically 
American concept 
of side yards
where we hide things
my toxic trait 
      is blowing 
      on every dandelion 
I see I'm in my new era era 
where the aisles at Albert Heijn are empty 
preventing 
neuken in de keuken
we’re not done 
hanging out w/ each other is the definition
	(of friendship) breathing in
true lavender dioxide spring is giving
	resting bitch face desperation 
         rain walk Oosterpark red 
                   spotted sidewalk beetles 
                   which bugs
do I still feel crawling on me (tiny bee) 
between pages
of Virgin Love 
	is coming (not from Berlin)

graffiti that says, "Love is Coming. Not from Berlin"

Your poetry homework for the week is to watch this Youtube interview breaking down boygenius’s song, “not strong enough” (because if I’m being honest, I stole that first line from Phoebe Bridgers). 🦴🦴
