***BIO*** Amanda Oaks lives in State College, PA. She will be relocating soon, destination, as of now, unknown. She is peppered around the small press- places like Nerve Cowboy, My Favorite Bullet and remark. She runs words dance (http://www.wordsdance.com) - an online zine that just recently turned print and is published sporadically throughout the year. She, shamelessly, just made her first chapbook available on the site. Order a chap, an issue - read the back issues – send her work when submissions are open - make her happy.

an industrious weeknight
by Amanda Oaks
what i wouldn’t give
not to feel
like i’m living chick lit
sitting here
in my pink pajama bottoms
and a snug black tank top,
hair grappling the back of my head,
laundry in the drum,
hair dye waiting on the sink,
damp under the arms from pilates,
unmarried
and barren
i sit here
willing to furnish anyone
with half a working brain

touch
