PUNK POETRY: Bomb the Zoos! But Also by Foolan Flopez

Abolish golf courses bc Tiger Woods  

is not an animal and Utah is a desert 

Stop breeding the cows and just so you  

can squeeze their tits  

Stop eating tiger testicles  

They won’t make your dick bigger 

There’s no such thing as an alpha male  

Grow your own food  

If you see someone step on a snail 

look at em funny 

Call Mario and tell him to stop  

stealing Koopa’s shell 

Stop writing nature poems  

& start sabotaging your neighbor’s sprinklers  

In real life, Spongebob is a blackened blob  

& Patrick dry as a toothbrush  

Don’t feed the ducks bread  

Feed the cops to the pigs  

There’s no such thing as a humane way to kill anything  

Half the animals you eat are smarter than you

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

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

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
