Carmack - 23 August 1999

August 23, midnight

(In my back yard after talking on the phone and nearly missing this thing again)

Creepy
          mix
                    blood wax seal
                    on a bottle
          that never shows up
(damn UPS, that woulda been some good olive oil)

I told the poetry crowd
I'm going to New Orleans
before anyone else
and I was singing!

New town again, this time
                    an old town.
Gave up a line
          to the scene
"$5 Art Kegger"
          Poetry to go
My mission here is done.

August 23, noon

(Construction site on S. Brodie)

Stuck in traffic
writing on a receipt
I've moved twenty feet
in forty-five minutes.

I hate this town.
