I’ve got that

head hurtin, runny nose, achy body feeling. In other words, I’m gonna be sick. My apologies for missing the party at Ralph’s — just couldn’t handle it.

In other news: I just saw “Boondock Saints” for the first time a couple of days ago and loved it, despite the many “Pulp Fiction” references (or perhaps because of them). Good flick, highly recommended.

I’ll have a new Zero Point Zero column up on the Gotpoetry site in the next couple days. Two words: American Idol. That’s all I’m gonna say.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled post-debauchery drunk browsing.


hanging him

tossing at night
we remember our history

do not suffer
a witch to live
kill the children
because nits make lice
destroy the village
in order to save it

hang him high
his fall will be
an important milestone
for his country

so many casual deaths
that you’d think one more
would bore us

but in the moment when
the body drops
the rope’s snap
echoes old mantras
and we sit up
to listen

for they’re playing our song
