APPLICABLE
GUILT
I painted obscenities on a nearby concrete
wall.
When I was later arrested, it was not for the
Obscenities,
but for painting without a license.
~Ken Poyner
Cut It Out, Robert
I really think that’s disgusting.
Why don’t
you get out of there
and start
singing along to Steely Dan.
The major dudes
turn over the garbage cans
and skitter off into
the prudent bourgeoisie.
With all their committees.
~Noah Berlatsky

~John J. Dunphy
CONFINEMENT
This
is the movie in which I am the villain.
You must be either the
hero or the temptress.
How typical of me to write a script
In
which you must be only
One or the other.
~Ken Poyner
Spiderweb catches
A glimpse of the sun
Diary closes
~Sarah Mahina Calvello
break-up song
you know the one
hum-along blues
~Joanna Ashwell
throwing you
back to the sea
matters to this one
~Jennifer Gurney
ENDEAVOR
A
sack of chemicals
And a vibration. The cat
Worries
unfaithfully. I watch
As the morning’s
dishes
Plot their escape. No room
For
religion. Window or door?
~Ken Poyner
