Lullaby for One-Eye

Lullaby for One-Eye

Dark horses break for dawn
pulling me along
through pop of bubble wrap
to poop of cultured crap
where we get as our reward
green stamps in lieu of cash
in corporate core of corpse
defrauded failing fast
Humpty Dumpty held
together by the past
herded into hordes
of traffic jam
and jazz

I’m one of three poets and one dancer featured tonight at the Bela Dubby at 7pm for the 3rd Annual Lix & Kix Poetry Extravaganza.

The dancer is Jacueline Honoshofy (her outfit in the foto on the flyer looks Latin American or Mid-Eastern), while we three poets (Bree, Jack McGuane and me) are each showcasing our new chapbooks put out by Dianne Borsenik’s Nightballet Press facebook.com/nightballet.press and John Burroughs’ Crisis Chronicles Press facebook.com/crisischronicles.

Bela Dubby is at 13321 Madison Ave, Lakewood, OH 44107 . . . fone# is 216.221.4479.
