fucking blogger ate my poem

blowguns sending messages and bullets
across a busy street

open sign
flickers
bartender flips a coaster...


and that's all i remember
from a minute ago

thats why i type this here
why i hit publish

fell down a stairwell
in my ER dreams
brought back some more:

making the most of this
shimmering overhead

stepping onto a breezy porch
waiting for the light to fall out
around us
like tiny leaves from some manicured bush

a cyclone whips them like
white trash snow
up into your car window


they will form a new stereo
or patch up rusted pockets
fuel your ride from home to milwaukie and back again
