Dreams

December 28th, 2007 bill vartnaw · No Comments

it will become clearer
like a used bookstore run by nuns
     in a grove of redwoods
I looked in the mirror
& couldn’t speak the language
I was able to find a waiting room
filled with blue butterflies from Mexico
I was so happy I started flying
     over the protests on a rickety bridge
a computer genius says
     there is no difference. crisp dry bacon
     kind [...]

BRINGING IT ALL BACK CHROME

December 27th, 2007 dave tilton · No Comments

I know something about good songs. One was recorded about me in 1963. Maybe you’ve heard it. Maybe you’ve heard of me. My friends call me Jack. Back then I was known as Little Jackie. Back then millions of people were interested in my frolicking in the autumn mist [...]

The Present

December 26th, 2007 don hagelberg · No Comments

En Dikt Inne Minne Av
Ingmar Bergman
As I do what I do,
What I do
Pulls me through
From the present into
The future as this word
Flows from the edge
Of contained ink into
The surface of
The becoming page
Satisfying the urge
To mean something
Which I both choose
And which also hides
Unknown in the verge.

Renaissance: Slave

December 21st, 2007 bill vartnaw · No Comments

a huge crowd stood around David
instamatics & single reflexes flashing
‘look at the veins on his hand’
everyone had come to see it, to say it
       to pay homage to this work of genius
it gave them faith in mankind
the experience was almost religious
-no one mentioned he was well-hung
the crowd was in awe
they saw what they came to see
their [...]

Wordless to the Wise

December 20th, 2007 martha mims · No Comments

Speechless when there’s
nothing to say.
Golden silence
for listening
to the meaning
in the message
the medium
for acquiring
wisdom with age.

Perfect for a World Without Money

October 25th, 2006 dave tilton · 1 Comment

Back [...]

Remembering Vernon

October 25th, 2006 david gonzalez · No Comments

Sala Thai
807 1st St., Benicia
707 745-4331
Stepping into Sala Thai’s doorway is like slipping into another world. The main room is narrow, long, and windowless. There are hints of smaller rooms to the back, and a corner to remove shoes. The long dark room is decorated with Thai crafts, carvings and material. [...]
