Big hats welcome but not a Texas uterus they won’t probe, tell you how you can wear it in public, a watched portal to the baby chute they need it to be. I guess to make future bullseyes? Because there’s also not a barrel they will look down, keep out of campuses. In Texas all depends on the tunnel. Barrels determine themselves but canals are hyper-policed. At the end of every story is a woman bleeding, empty, and an Attorney General smug and whole as he always was.

Michelle DeRose hopes she can retire from teaching at the college level before she must relive a school shooting, and she is grateful she doesn't live in Texas. She teaches creative writing and African American, Irish, and world literature at Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
