"I chalk my hands with Icarus ash,
the vault and rings of heaven
before me" – qbit
"I saw you dip seagulls
in blackest ink
for crow words"
– qbit's wife
I am spray can,
graffiti hearted
shake shake shake
you awake,
that metal ball in your chest
rattles and rolls, rocks and tolls,
mixes me up
I paint the dog
fierce tiger stripes,
line the lion
with the lamb
your fizzy-fuzzy thoughts,
your vaporized
fog of war
on words
mixybest
trixytest
krylon onomotopaint
liquitex rust-oleum,
rust's proof of the rainbow
please,
godsend of snow,
a sleet primer

Those two quotes at the top! Get the eff out of town! Whoa, how I love those. As for the main body of the poem, I see Johnny Bench vacantly huffing his Krylon spray pain and wondering what the number was of that truck that hit him. A little Pollack, a little Goldfinger, a little talk to the animals and presto! Every time a crow flaps its wings teacher gets a new Rorschach card. Attention, class! This blew me into the next room, Qbit.

If I ever overcome my laziness and get a book out, can I have that as a blurb?

Gah, I know!!! I posted a comment with a few lines in it just now, but all the doors I’ve tried to open have cinder blocks on the other side. Not giving up yet, but might take a few days.

*weeps softly* I hate when that happens. I liked your Sleighride, though! And, no, don’t give up.
