PUNK PROSE: Hybrid Prose w/ Syd Barrett by Mimi Bordeaux

If I chose prose to express myself would you want to be close? 
Dream on a lake shimmering gold is light flashing drake high end up with poetry pouring out and up
Head inside my shattered eyes that blends the skies and under what name your shame?
Back to the heath and your wild wishes to listen to the birds a-swallow whistles warbling singing it's sun dried out of town swinging 
I saw your work in a bookshop looking forward go nextdoor clip clop 
Weeks days and years going down again later on we'll pray for the cures
Swing switch to sombre moroso ding sing song single sinful now that's an angle
Eagle eye on my way to another dive let us go then you and I 
You and him to her and she is his mind that the rest is a great find hovering over me cheerio ciao bella go through the universe unicorn wheel
Find his word on the luminous intensity of the sweet words

EDITOR'S NOTE: Something Old, Something New (aka WE'RE OPEN FOR REVIEW REQUESTS)

Hey, pals!  Due to an incredible influx of acceptances (we're stacked for pubs until AUGUST), we had to temporarily shut our doors.  I am delighted to announce we are again  OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS !  We've updated our guidelines; please read thoroughly before sending your awesome words/art/whatever.  AND!!!!  I am VERY excited to announce a new branch of the magazine!  For the first time, Punk Monk is open to review requests!  We will be reviewing books, collections, novellas, chapbooks, and microchaps. (Fiction, poetry, non-fiction, art, hybrid, ANYTHING accepted.) Our aim is to publish 1-4 reviews a month.   All reviews will be written by me, C.E. Hoffman .  This has been a long time coming, inspired by my personal frustrations seeking cool alt lit spaces that accept ARCs for review.  Many mags accept pre-written reviews, but won't review works in-house. This creates an unfortunate barrier for authors trying to promote their work.  I want to help reduce that barrier. Writer

If I Had A Son, I Would Teach Him About Evolution

I bled through the crotch of my pants and the Wonder Woman underwear I bought two and a half years ago on sale at Target while eating chocolate chip cookies in my bed. I put my hand between my thighs to wipe away the blood and realized, that God had once again decided to not put the embryo of Jesus Junior in my womb, leaving me free to continue reading blog posts tagged atheism. --Em Ramser

PUNK PROSE: Best by Jenna Brown

 Best  When I saw the name on the taco bag, I hit a mailbox and tumbled off my bike. No tacos fell out, but I did scrape my knee.  One knock, two knocks, three.  My brand-new boyfriend has been hanging around here for months. He talks about her too much. Sometimes I think I know more about her than I know about him.  But she doesn’t know me. Before I left, I looked around the apartment. Her velvet ottoman. Subtle art that looks expensive. Plants. Record player. Her designer clothes. Her band name in cursive script hanging on her wall. She has a Masters in art. Her parents supported her travels through Europe, where she learned to shape wire with a soldering iron.  I hop on my bike and pedal away for my next delivery.  I don’t think I want to be alive anymore. He met her before he met me. They went out on a few dates and it fizzled out. I wasn’t allowed to hear the details.  And I wasn’t allowed to meet her. Today, the universe via  Señor Gato’s Speedy Tacos decided to override that pol
