The RetroLounge Daily Poem Thread (Mon 9/22/2008) |

Popular Science
She drops the big white bullet palm to palm to palm like stepping down on swinging stairs to the top of Big Rock Candy Mountain, where the good cells sing in the cigarette trees and there's always ice and whiskey too. Her mouth's blistered from chemo and she's full
of holes as she goes where hydrocodone grows in the acetaminophen shoals. She laughs when I write our hearts make morphine. She writes you're three hours away happy in a book,
floating in a tub.

I've been so damn distracted today that I forgot your poetry thread...
Until now!
And I like this one...
Even though it's crazy!
Very fine indeed!
Thank you...
