THE CATCH Back home, if home it is, I listen to CDs to keep my language up. I let the Cherokee play in what at first is no more than volley of vowel and verb. Finally I relax into the flow. Even though most courses ahead too fast for me to catch, some words stick and thrash. I make of my mind a weir where words are caught and held by current’s force until I can haul them up and out for sustenance. —Kimberly L. Becker ChrissyHairWater —Ronald Edwin Lane Diverse Voices Quarterly, Vol. 1, Issue 3 & 4 20
COKED-UP HOOKER Like a coked-up hooker with a cleaver I’ve got an axe to grind sitting in the cheap meat seats in summer I settle in with the flies. The world stage performs opens up like a void this is your life a lot like a Popsicle some of it sucks and some of it hurts. A jumped-up kid with an attitude the girl on the screen screams big problem mouth shouting finger pointing points blame into a colorful picture shocking pink. Up there on the silver in glorious black and white mistakes are repeated over and over she creates a whole new word refluxology again. A fuck up with a perpetual hangover could try harder but it’s a learnt thing learning to try asleep in the gods the movie has a good forty years left but I’ve given up trying haven’t lived them yet. —Natasha Carthew Diverse Voices Quarterly, Vol. 1, Issue 3 & 4 21
