Massacre Saturday: More poets' faces
For Friday's report (no photos) see
here.
For Saturday, part one see
here.
JENNIFER L. KNOX
Motherfucker! I just found out my boyfriend's a prostitute.
GABRIELLA TORRES
A different spiral takes you
to the bathhouse of the poor.
ADA LIMON
That bird looks like a flight risk.
Hooray for the differently sane!
AUTUMN McCLINTOCK
tuna fish sandwiches cut into triangular wedges
for consumation [?] I considered becoming a juggler.
DANIEL NESTER
a lovely day for a motion picture
Asshole, O how you wait for everyone!
Let us speak of Dudley Moore now
TINA BROWN CELONA
It burned, sending up tumors of honey.
My doctor says I'm hostile
and I stink of rum--WAIT. This is the wrong version of this poem.
My doctor says I'm hostile,
and I believe him.
You can't have ego salad without personal taste.
HASSEN
I can remake you better than you can be.
What if I am you, Joseph Banks.
What if you are me?
ANNA MOSCHOVAKIS
Because the river that was not a river
felt like a river nonetheless
Dear Karen, I've failed.
And I'm the one who proposed the match.
STEPHANIE YOUNG
You wear the device on your back, as if it were full of books.
I had one long continuous dream of human violence.
Emotions expressed as diamonds.
I developed a wish to have legs as long as a horse,
for showing excitement.
AARON TIEGER
Moving through snow
with a grace too slow
The silent layer of your eyes
Now we have a name
and drop like water.
JORDAN DAVIS
[At this point my camera battery died. Man that sucked. So I didn't get to jot J's lines. I was still messing with it, futiley, during AARON KUNIN's & DAVID HESS's reading. Or I could blame my lack of note taking on David's flame-licked neon cowboy hat! Unfortunately dead battery means no photos for the following Saturday nighters.]
DAVID HESS
I'm a representative of the School of Quietude, here to disturb your gathering with my quiet.
JACKIE WATERS
Desire is a good start.
TRACEY McTAGUE (the dissident poster girl!)
They're young.
They
always set the golf course on fire.
This is called "Pantyhose Face."
...and naked aerobics on videotape...
JOE TORRA
Enjoy your youth.
ALLI WARREN
It turns out I'm still thinking underpants.
MAX WINTER
So keep that thought in your jacket pocket.
Red & blue balloons, what are your names?
AND FOR THE SATURDAY FINALE...
DOUGLAS ROTHSCHILD (R)
