"To tell you the truth, I'm pretty burned out
on meat poetry or street poetry or poetry of
the down-and-out, whatever you want to call
it, because so much of it is bullshit; either bogus
motherfuckers who never shed blood but
insinuate themselves into the lives of those
who have and then make a name for themselves
by writing generic imitations, or a bunch of
middle-class kids still living at home talking
tough, aping Bukowski, Wantling, levy, Micheline...
but HAPPY HOUR is the real thing. Stark precision.
It's stripped down, bare bones authentic.
You be the real McCoy, amigo..."
-John Bennett

FROM BLUE PRESS,

integrity married to the inside
dope of the poetic imagination
as far as my jaded view
has been concerned."
-Michael C. Ford

DEEP SHIT HORIZON

an updated projection
map proves catastrophic
is scarier than chronic for
photogenic oil coated birds
when it's only the enablers
who smile for the camera

All I Could Tell Him

my grandpa was just a fucking
railroad bum came over from
Germany slept under viaducts
marking his crib with a charcoal
Swastika by the yards there
in Chi Town a tough motherfucker
in highschool I used to hold my
dad another tough son of a bitch
an LA Iron Worker some nights
Jim Beam drunk crying about how
he never even knew him how as
a kid he had to go pick up potatoes
that fell off the cars down by
the same tracks where his dad
got his head popped open like a
watermelon and all I could tell
him was it's all right and I really
believed it until now when I
look into my daughter's eyes

Seven Minutes

your ass has spread but
it's dog style so it only
adds to the excitement
as he fans out his hand
on the small of your
back thumb in butthole
pumping your way out
of poverty for at least
those seven minutes
it takes to collect
anybody's debt

Amends

in the shadows of
the shadow of the
mystery there is a
pistol and a soiled
pair of panties that
might say different

SUBWAY EYES

dark
woman's
legs, there

are no
voices
you could
understand:

swaying
heads
nodding
approval-

under the
streets
like
agreeing
worms.
