A COUPLE OF POEMS FROM WAY BACK WHEN...

(This Friday we visited the BAM party on Adams Street and were pleasantly surprised to see their photo exhibit of downtown scenes featuring up-and-coming photographers Veronica Gaona, Eduardo Martinez-Blanchard, Josie del Castillo, and Conrado Gonzalez. The show was called SouthXSouthmost and was held Friday and Saturday. Owner MoshiMoshi Solitaire graciously showed us the exhibit and gave us a walk through. The visit set got the creative juices flowing and we dug up some of our old poetry from our files. Good show by the
Brownsville Artists and Musicians (BAM), an experimental collaborative of creatives reinforcing the visual and musical underground of our community.)


THE BULLFIGHT
Lonely You
Once again in the arena
with bovine thoughts
pounding in your head





COUNTERFEIT
He flew off to Peoria to pass some paper
But a hair in Benjamin's head
stood out and
snagged him
