December 30, 2005

FREMONT, Calif. –A pack of angry Chihuahuas attacked a police officer who was escorting a teenager home after a traffic stop, authorities said.

The officer suffered minor injuries, including bites to his ankle, Detective Bill Veteran said. The five Chihuahuas escaped the 17-year-old boy’s home and rushed the officer in the doorway Thursday, authorities said. The teenager had been detained after the traffic incident.

The officer was treated at a hospital and returned to work less than two hours later.

black telescope
i once adored stars through you
stars that were still pinpoints but sharper
and there were no lunar mountains
except through you

black telescope
i am in debt tonight
sleepless and unwelcome here
trampled and buried in fractures

black telescope
closeted, shiny and waiting for me
i can imagine lifting you again
aiming you again
finding a vision again
necessary and filling
as warm bread
stolen and consumed at midnight

black telescope
wiped clean
lens caps removed
my way out of here
is through you

i am now officially unemployed.

and on this first night of unemployment, i am stone cold sober.

i think that’s against the rules.

so — anyone in NE want me for a feature right about now? i’ll tour later but am definitely up for some poetry action ASAP.

i wish i had some profound thing to say, but i’m just not feeling profound right now.

i am frankly feeling a little silly.

happy new year!
