Erik and Laura-Marie Magazine 44

Dear friends,

I have a new zine out, Erik and Laura-Marie Magazine 44. It's a perzine with poems and includes lots of book and zine reviews, some small essays about the Hindu religion I do, and a guest essay by my friend Ann about growing up with a mentally ill mother in the '50s. I am very happy to trade, so contact me at robotmad(a)gmail(dot)com to set up a trade. Thanks.

Laura-Marie

Love a fly.

Imagine it's the fly's birthday.

Imagine the fly in a little birthday hat.

Tell the fly about your feelings.

There are certain rules

we learned on television

about matches of force.

One will be superior.

If not,

both may die

in mutual homicide.

But more likely,

there will be a standstill

road trip

I

The subtle distinctions made by locals.

A perfect example of how a woman and man can be friends.

II

So-so friends

on a road trip.

III

A vampire on an atrocious hunt,

a masterful barrage of death.

IV

The evil we choose

ELM 43, functionally ill 3

Hi, friends. I have two new zines. The first is Erik and Laura-Marie Magazine 43. It features lots of poems, reviews of all the books I read during the past six months, some recipes (broccoli soup, coffee cake, vegan cornbread, various cookies), and an open letter by my Australian friend Jo about punk and art communities.

The other is my mental health zine functionally ill 3. This one’s quarter size. It’s made up of small vignettes on identifying, control, pills, psychiatrists, Somatherapy, DBT, and The Icarus Project. Probably the most attractive thing about this issue is a transcription of my voices.

Let me know if either of these sound like your cup of tea.

love,
Laura-Marie

learn

I

People afraid of memory.

Some afraid of bad memories.

Some afraid to lose good memories.

These are what all scientists believe.

II

On the other hand,

many people are homeless and about to die

because they did not eat anything.

They do not have a job

because they did not learn.

And sometimes I think

that is not fair.

But that is the real life.

If we want to have a happy and amazing time

Do you want to meet her?

A day, maybe, before it fades.

Say "I can have sex all night long!"

Is my DVD naughty?

Get your eyes fixed.

Tell whether you like that.

We buy houses fast.
