Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time
Poetry in Vitro - Vol 1. No. 10
Marked and Stranded
Gauntly relating a man to a camel,
he stood at the dais; taking
us on the elevator down
to the basement; leading
us to the graveyard to find out why
his poetry had been eaten;
offering us a napkin
to wipe the ink off our faces.

I guess you were at that reading too about a couple of years back; this is a good evocation. Like the witty title too. I'd suggest sending this to a review that has published Mark Strand.
Yup, I was there with my eldest daughter (now 12). It was her first poetry reading. She was impressed. Anything coming up in the Blue Metropolis Literary Series?
