Keri Smith played in a bunch of punk bands and lived for a time in Gainesville, Fl. She then decided her only way out was to get an MFA in Poetry from the New School. It sort of worked. She currently works at bars in Brooklyn, NY and her first book is out on Hanging Loose Press. This poem was written during a writing residency at the TRELEX Residency in Paris, November 2017.

After deciding show business wasn’t for him, he settled in LA and now works as a lab technician at Caltech. Find him on IG @sexyinternet and @_newtechnology_ or on Twitter @ROTFASTER.
