Three Poems from Four Personal Addresses

Mahmoud Darwish

It’s the door, and beyond it is the paradise of the heart. Our things—and everything is ours—are interchangeable. And the door is a door, the door of metonymy, the door of legend. A door to keep September gentle. A door that invites fields to begin their wheat.

Signal 1

Christopher Stackhouse

Simulacra, scrud, compendium
Nathaniel Hatchet, crud, Ferguson-
Skull contented satellites smear
two ponies. Smear.

Hand Polished

Michael Earl Craig

“You were at that round table in the sun,
why did you move?
I said why’d you move,
you were at that nice table, in the sun?

Joyelle McSweeney

split The Sun Sessions into high and low.
Sun made the coast impossible

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Joe Wenderoth and Sandy Brown

This instant messenger conversation took place on two occasions in late January of this year.

(Fri Jan 26 23:39:11 2001):
Joe Wenderoth: I am here, and I am queer. 

Sandy Brown: I am here, and I am unwilling to comment on my queer/not-queer status. So. What is up with all of the beatings mentioned in Letters to Wendy’s?
