That Other Guy

By Samantha Lê From Issue No. 4

the one
made up of consonants
and super hero punches
the guy with a secret name
no one can pronounce
like Chkps MwTrnkq or Dvjbtr Flk
who adds chaos to conflicts
the impatient demolition
man the large-chested
mambo conductor

dear other guy
this is no barge opera
nor is it a bear on alvarado street
but an urgent appeal for help
in the a-e-i-o-u of manhood
the long
and short of it
the microwave is no place
for a flaky croissant

I repeat: the microwave is no place
for a flaky croissant
