A Signal Day Between Now and Paradise,

Every day I think about my Signal friend.
My Signal friend is the source of all my Yokel energy.
So, I made up a song,
and Signal-texted it to my Signal friend.

    One of these days and it won't be long
    Pretty soon you'll be dancing
    You'll call my name and I'll be gone
    Pretty soon you'll be dancing
    Call your friends all over
    Petty soon they'll be dancing
    Call your friends all over
    Pretty soon you'll be dancing

My Signal friend responded so sweetly,
Signal-texting that the song consoled her for a friend
who fell and was injured and must soon die--
because pretty soon they'll be dancing!

So, I know that my Signal friend and I still have our signals straight.
Or, at least, we did on the day of our Signal chat,
which was three days ago--haven't heard from my Signal friend since.
Makes me fear that all is over between my Signal friend and me.

But nah,
something will come over the air
to me from my Signal friend before very long,
I trust!

Thank you! I am so grateful
for my Signal friend!
I am so grateful
for my own fairy-elf self
that can use the energy
of my love for my Signal friend
to do work in the world while I'm here.

Thank you, thank you,
my fairy-elf!

I don't really want to jam long-term with Chris Title.
I'm afraid that my alienation of Chris may be alienating Alyssa.
Well, we'll see.
If I just go ahead and be my fairy-elf (mys'elf),
Alyssa will be with me.

Writing About Auto-eroticism

Image
My poetry is a celebration of auto-eroticism. I get immense pleasure from looking at my own body, especially my feet. My self-pleasure is chemical--it makes me feel excited and happy every day, and I believe that I partly owe to it my good health. When I was a child, I was embarrassed by my feet and tried to hide them whenever possible. I've come to believe that my childhood hatred of my feet was an internalized social imperative to deny prettiness (femininity) in myself, and that this denial prevented me until well into adulthood from enjoying the prettiness of my feet and being sexually stimulated by them. Now this self-pleasure inhabits all my days. My book, Pretty Yokel,  is an exploration of this pleasure in myself.

Printable Versions of the Selected Yokel Song Collections

I want to have eleven (well, thirteen--no, fourteen) more-concise representations of the complete Yokel collections. The lengths will be from 24 to 36 pages (well, 20 to 52, I guess), so they'll be cheaper to print. They need to be almost perfect editorially. Selected Trans Yokel Songs and Selected Pretty Yokel Songs are on the long side--thirty-six or 40 pages. But now I've made separate End Times volumes of from each, rescuing many songs that had been excluded. The Yokel's End Times Footsie Drag is 52 pages long. I would like to be able to print five or ten copies of each and give them away. They should have a less-than-ten-dollar unit cost. The collections are designed to be read from beginning to end. The reader should be able to get through one of them in less than an hour. They are arranged/not arranged consecutively by composition date. So, each song is a record of things that happened in the world with regard to one of the themes-chakras (Doomed, Woke, Pretty, Tra...
