headline poetry

This blog began as an excursion to reintroduce myself to both “the news,“ which I abandoned nearly 2 years ago, and with creative writing, unvisited for over 10 years. The experiment returned me to writing, and convinced me to remain inattendant to the distractions of “the news”. Now my poems don’t refer to the reported doings of the world, but rather, to my own life’s headlines, the news worthy stuff in my direct, personal and unmediated world. See 9/11/06 for more.

Crayons in catastrophes (veil 2: shield)

It is certainly coming
There’ll be no stopping it

It is on its heavy ass way
Swinging its big shitty dick

Splooging at will
On every clean surface

What stands between us?
What shelters us from its rage?

Toothpicks in tornadoes
Hush puppies in hurricanes

Envelopes in earthquakes
Finger foods in floods

How will we go down?
