beer run
by Chris Brandt
Up out of beer posters burgeon young
women
at deli, bodega, convenience store –
I am transfixed by their
nearly naked breasts and by smiles
that promise if I buy their beer
I get to . . .
. . . have a beer. |
stoned,
sitting farting
on the head
by Chris Brandt
stoned, sitting farting on the head,
I stare
at the cover of a matchbook –
blue-green, on one side the logo of
Winston Cigarettes,
on the other, ‘When we say, “No
Boundaries” we mean it.’
What? No boundaries?
Each match herein bears possible
arson.
No boundaries?
All the matches at once
an accident, too fast. No boundaries?
Cilia clog with tars
in millions of lungs - no boundaries?
Profit above all - no boundaries?
