Nerve has a strange new short story up, "Genesis," by Jardine Libaire, author of Here Kitty Kitty. It's a dirtier version of Under Milk Wood.
Meanwhile, inside her body, sperms fly like angel fish a million miles to her ovum. They pass the cervix, & race through the uterus. In the ampulla of the fallopian tube, they press the membrane of the egg, a thousand questions at the dome of one answer. The first sperm penetrates the corona radiata, sinks into the oocyte, in a blast of light. While these two lovers sleep through a humid summer midnight, their genetic material fuses, & the sperm sheds its matter like snakeskin.
