new poetry and poetics edited by brian kim stefans - Arras.net

un rustic for replacement tracheas
and more frantic as the music
plea bargains noticability
one mother’s everyday i write
saw in sonar a militia
sandbagged in his bladder
the guillotine fell back across the 18th century
though wyatt berry stapp earp
lived to see the stock market crash and penicillin
0 fer i remember say can i
see by the by lines
diapering light
when it rains
there’s something tabloid to hide under
but then it’s then again
stunted stewed haploid haole
yelling at the mirror is the prison system
leased to the justice department on veteran’s day
a means of stamping the anomaly with
scheherazade’s pass key and
faking making
lost year i cost
this many whimpers
sticking his strike counter out of camera wrangle
the walk to tic tac toe a
pound sign beleaguerdly begetting
yankee stay
