Poetry Club w/Charles Luden
I wanted to be sure to send out a message on 10-10-10.
This date seems so whole, so mystical.
Sort of like all my friends.

A debarked dog sits on a bench,
mouth agape with despair.
On another bench a girl with an umbrella
chewing licorice.
A limousine pulls up in the night.
No need to go anywhere.

I was laughing at the old folks
bumping their grocery carts
down the aisle at Sunshine
then when I got home noticed
in the mirror I have gray hair too

At Some Night Club
In one minute it will be one minute from now.
The place looks the same almost.
A fuzzy thing is falling from the ceiling
about to touch her collar where hair rides in waves.
She flinches as a song pounds memories to bits.
