IT GETS BETTER

by Ankly Basilford

On the wall of a bathroom in Los Angeles:
Scarlett is a bloody cunt.

On the door of a locker, the cuter girl from
The Office writes GEEK (it's in lipstick).

What did Beyonce and Kelly
and the other one write
on their wall? I pictured it in green,
and it glowed, I remember.


Ankly Basilford lives in Novia Scotia with her step-sister and two beautiful children. Her mascara is running as she pips up the volume on Tyra. She thinks she can feel a clot forming in her leg. Her work has appeared in MISGUIDED TOPOGRAPHY: AN ANTHOLOGY OF THIN, WHITE WOMEN, but she's been putting on weight like a rescued dog of late.
