My Favorite Barfly. by Brian Fugett


the multiple voices
that spill from 
her skull
fit her
like thrift store 
lingerie
as she struts
her damaged goods
at the local watering hole
begging for drinks
and peddling her
tired story
like a treadmill
of sexy
misery

                                      


Brian Fugett is a member of the slacker, fast food generation that has been branded with an “X”. He sits in his pad all day consuming more oxygen than he’s worth. He’s been doing it for 47 years now & has become quite efficient at it. Some day he hopes to be president of the “International Society of Incontinent Gum Swallowers”, a support group for people who compulsively swallow gum & piss themselves. Until that day arrives, he occupies his time with writing, photography, boozing, tail-chasing and occasional pugilism.

WINE WORDS by George Haecker

A riot of superlatives to make  Shakespeare blush, we  could choose from  citric persistence vivid aromas  chocolate hints rose petal scents...
