I am going to Urbana to clear my mind and chill with some of my friends! We plan on going to Murphys and that makes me think of the only poetry reading that I have seen in a bar, so I will give you something from that experience!!!
The Good, The Bad And The Ugly Share A Comb
It was a Mexican standoff
without the actual Mexicans
so we trucked in some
disassociated Japanese youths to stand in
and stand around in sombreros,
serapes and rusty old gun belts and
well, they really did a fantastic job
without looking like they gave two shits.
Their dead glares could have sliced cement.
Would you call that genetics or talent
or skill or luck or all in the almond-
shaped eye of the beholder? Who the hell
are you, anyway? Oh, it says right here
on your name tag. HI MY NAME IS:
Herr Gangbang Hammer [blink] I mean:
Theraflu Soup Socks [blink] I mean:
Titanium Caskets Half-off [blink] I mean:
You [blink] I mean:
Me [blink] I mean did we
piss that afternoon we kissed away away?
Or was it only me there - watching the sky
roll by, too quick, in my mind's eye only?
