Failed Visionary
Bitterness is all the rage.
Resentment burns through me,
Destroying everything in its path,
Burning up the sadness, burning up regret,
Burning up fear and desire;
Charring, gutting, exhausting me.
I can’t take the corrosive bitterness
I have forced upon myself.
I know that it’s all my own fault.
But I can’t let that stop me
From resenting other people.

Presenting the cream of local poetry. I will also be giving a short and highly predictable reading.
It’s a lot to ask of even the most dedicated poetry lover: to drag their ass across town on a Tuesday evening.
But: if you’re in the neighborhood or the mood…
Tuesday night, June 14th: The Standard Hotel at 8300 Sunset Blvd.
Free wine will be served between 7pm and 8pm. Readings begin at 8pm.
