TWO POEMS lily arnell

GIVING YOU A HANDJOB AT 2:00 AM

Giving you a handjob

Thinking about Andy Dick and

Andy Griffith

That they both had TV shows

And wondering if

I could survive

Under more deprived circumstances

LIVE FEEDS OF PIPELINE SURFERS

Feeling doomed

And feeling optimistic

Like things are bad

But could be good

If I had enough discipline

THE ITERATE BOUNCER colin james

Bass players are the worst
collaborationists.
Friends of, with infinitely colored scarves
and snide remarks
try to slip past.
I'm not having it!
The entrance fee is visible
to approximate clarity.
You only have to look up to see
my eye contact is unlike yours.
This may surprise or not.
I shall enjoy thrashing you just enough so
my ambivalence appears in accordance.


Colin James has a book of poems, Resisting Probability, from Sagging Meniscus Press.
