PUNK POETRY: Buffy is Trending on Twitter by Gary Reddin

(CW for abuse) 


and i remember watching the way

vampires turned to dust 

and dust is the thing they tell me 

we'll all return to someday

on sundays in the church pews

hiding myself in my memories

of television 

and not thinking about the hair

on my father's knuckles

the smell of his tobacco-drunk 'breath

as he wraps those hands around my throat

after i say something about how 

i think Buffy could probably beat god

in a fight


-Gary Reddin
