I am honored to see a poem and a photograph of mine published in Buk 100: Notes for a Dirty Old Birthday! Like the first volume of Buk 100, Newington Blue Press created this second limited edition chapbook to honor what would have been legendary poet Charles Bukowski’s 100th birthday. (You can order your copy right here.)
The short poem is entitled “Ode to a New Black Ball-Point Pen” and the photo appears just below it. (I think my fellow Roanokers will recognize Shaffer’s Crossing Norfolk Southern Railway Bridge.)
Thanks again to Matthias Krueger for selecting my work for this superb recognition of Bukowski’s legacy!
“Coughs and Sneezes Spread Diseases – As Dangerous as Poison Gas Shells.” Origin is possibly U.S. Public Health Service.
How’s that for a name for a species? It sounds like either a horror story or a children’s book.
If you get a really close look at it, that spot on its back is sort of in the shape of a heart — which suggests this guy would make a pretty creative Valentine’s day present. Also — that spot ought to be orange or white, geographically speaking. The ones with yellow markings are only supposed to be found in certain parts of Florida. Yet our friend found sunny Roanoke, VA.
Anyway … if you zoom in reaaaaaally close, you can actually see his ring of eyes.
“Portrait of a Renaissance Woman.”
(Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. I’ll be here all week. Don’t forget to tip your waitresses.)
It actually just occurred to me that she is the only character that I’m aware of in the Marvel Cinematic Universe who’s broken the fourth wall. (Sure, Deadpool does it all the time, but he hasn’t been introduced to the MCU yet.)
That depressing moment when you realize that Bud Abbott was better equipped to handle a public health crisis than Texas Governor Greg Abbott.
