Joanne K likes to drink
and after dinner
smoke a little pot
and keep talking until
she's run out of space
but then, it's her party
full of heroes and friends
and poets
always the poets
Judith Roche shows up late from Bumbershoot
Charles Potts arrives from the east
and doesn't remove his hat at dinner
Stephen Thomas arrives with Xei Di,
who's name, when pronounced wrong,
sounds like "sweety."
turkey for dinner, pot for dessert,
we had the perfect poet's Thanksgiving
in August
