Poetry Reading

By the time we got to the reading
Carmen was done playing the part of Dona Grocera

raul with his resilient fingers swayed
in less than a year he would be dead

Juan Feliz Espantos read soundlessly
or so we wished at length

Bryce from Wings Press
was drowned out by the artillery

going off in the head of fine girls
all semen flowed looking for an opening

hot summer night
illegally parked on earth
