"from my little book"

"Satisfaction was imposed on every American"

"There was nothing behind the curtain but some great tits and a few thousand skulls"

"Two out of 3 Americans believe they are the 8th wonder of the world."

"For all the talk of shadows we are mostly blood."

About a hostage's hunger: "Like what happens to an incredibly tall man, he says, or a woman born with flippers"

"A word would come through the machine in a manner that surprosed us both": lovers, one of whom uses an "apparatus" to speak

"I'll read two more--ah they're all so good" laughter from the crowd

"California the brief story of a whale's beard"

"The rumor of an interior beard"

"The beard of Joseph Stalin is now twice the size of Russia."

"As I flew through the windshield I knew that being nice does not always work like magic"

"Agnes, the river is looking for interns and I can feel your tongue in my ear"

power calls

"So you say, 'Can you write?'"

"Rhymeless but musical because my soul plays jazz."

"You must be famished. Here. Sit. Eat."

"Beautiful day out today. Got my walking shoes on. Can I come with you?"

"I on't know whay she marry that black man if she can't learn to do that baby's hair."

back soon

"Yeats made sense in my science-fictional brain."

"many of the first drafts of these poems were written between reference interviews"

poems difficult to quote because of continuity jumps and my bad typing

"This growth depends on nothing more than recognition."

"What if the land dropped its pants and the sea rushed the square"

"Last the police cares pile up, a full blown retort" from Reflux Disease

"A perfect delivery of bees"

stopping for lack of power--back next poet

Strange, indeed! Blogging realtime from the Carrboro Poetry Festival, sitting behind Kasey Mohammad and listening to Chris Vitiello read his "funny poem" about the World Trade Center—and it is!

"The president painstakingly checks his body for ticks. "I don't want to go to Secret Town, says the president."

Didn't know I'd be able to do this, so I didn't bring a spare battery or a power adapter.

"The vice-president of secret town is kept asleep with secret drugs, just in case.

The presidents are thinking of a number."

Signing off till next poet.
