Happened over the oyster bar on Fifth
Welcome back Courtney Love
Even if you don’t like the idea
She says “Laura Bush has gay friends”
The Spring Break massacre
Staring at Sapphic Romance portraits
New York happy hours all round the clock
During a conversation with a human centipede
Mayor Bloomberg called out on education for the kids
The Spring Break massacre
You don’t say “A stray remark haunts Brown?”
They approve the big wind farm off Cape Cod
Just another evening out with friends
In “The city that never sleeps”

I love this mash of headlines. I bet you miss NYC sometimes.Your Mariachi band is trying to break down Miss Pommeroy's bathroom door.Could you have a word?
ReplyDeleteNothing like keeping your finger on the pulse, Pamela!
ReplyDeleteThat "Spring Break massacre" line has this weight to it that can't be explained, and all the images dangle off it like Christmas ornaments... wonderful construction and arrangement of images. :)

Love the way you've linked these lines together, and I like the way you've repeated the line,
ReplyDelete"The spring break massacre." Nicely done!
Nice collage of headlines. The first line of "Spring Break Massacre' really sets off yor stanzas. I really like the "Human centipede" line.
ReplyDeleteWell done!

I like the repetition of the first line, and the mix of stories gives a nice hectic feeling of the city. I'd like to meet that human centipede :).
ReplyDeleteMarianne,
