IT'S DECORATIVE GOURD SEASON, MOTHERFUCKERS

By Colin Nissan

I don't know about you, but I can't wait to get my hands on some fucking gourds and arrange them in a horn-shaped basket on my dining room table. That shit is going to look so seasonal. I'm about to head up to the attic right now to find that wicker fucker, dust it off, and jam it with an insanely ornate assortment of shellacked vegetables. When my guests come over it's gonna be like, BLAMMO! Check out my shellacked decorative vegetables, assholes. Guess what season it is—fucking fall. There's a nip in the air and my house is full of mutant fucking squash.

I enjoyed this, being a gourd lover and all. It ran through my mind while passing the Greenmarket displays in my neighborhood yesterday but I refrained from cheering/yelling to enlighten the shoppers. :-)

Hah! The piece is a bit snarky, but made me laugh anyway.
My word verification is figflemp! Another holiday craft possibility...

About Me

My photo
Pam
I'm writer in residence at the Katonah Museum of Art where I manage a visual literacy program. I received a creative writing fellowship in poetry from the NEA in 2013 to complete a manuscript of poems on the experiences of military families after more than a decade of war. I was a poetry fellow at the SUNY Purchase Writers Center. I'm poetry editor for the Afghan Women's Writing Project. My work has been published in a variety of journals.
