"Nairobi" short story by Brett Lupton.

   It’s still early in the evening but it’s already dark outside. Ruth is sitting in front of the dresser mirror, putting on make-up, getting ready for Wendy’s farewell party. Every now and then she stops dabbing at her face to check for a telltale line where the make-up ends and the real Ruth begins. Her bottom lip juts out, the way it does whenever she concentrates hard on something.

Poem of the week: Ready for the Big One (1997) By Bill Direen

(off the Powertool album Human Kindness PT 070) 
 
Don’t take a chance on inadequate supplies
Get ready for the big one get wise
We're ready for it now
Don’t pin yr hopes on an early compromise
They’d really have to rig one get wise
Get ready for it now

We might not have one dollar
we might not have one ounce of cash
we might not have one drop of gas

Poem of the week: Queen City Spring by David Eggleton

David Eggleton

From the aura’s argent water-clock
the trembling edge of day advances,
humming a waltz topped up with schmaltz.
Coffee, apple pie,
flounder net, asthma inhaler,
small fridge of beer, clocktower chimes,
shimmering waterfall of aluminium discs,
waiting, waiting, waiting.

Mariana Isara Poem Poster Run Tennessee/Kentucky, July 2010.

Delta Airlines mistakenly sent my luggage all the way to Tallahassee, Florida, whereas I was flying into Music City, USA (Nashville, Tennessee). So, my guitar case with broom and paste was no longer available and I felt lost without my heavy-duty industrial lamp-post poster stapler. In fact, I only had about fifteen Mariana Isara poem posters on me so I set about trying to introduce these to as many people as possible.
