I never went back after thatFunny how we hold on — isn’t it? So — I’m putting poems behind a paywall — not as a means of getting y’all to contribute to my eventual dissolution (although if you wanna subscribe and pay — I won’t say no) but rather as a means to keep my poetics mechanisms in parallel play and to have plausible deniability when submitting poems for publicationPoems behind a paywall & other gate(less) side questsSubscribehttps://www.thegateless.org/6031d9e6Feel free to share the link above with your friends and communities — unless you want to keep your kinks private or are uncomfortable being shunnedMuch love,Con/Jur/d, 8/29/2022
