Ok here is one of my favorite poems, figured I'd put it out for ya'll to enjoy...
Archaeology by Bonny Finburg
Young sexy women, an eternal fount of
sleek skin, alabaster and onyx,
honeyed eyes, yielding mouths.
But I prefer the avatars of elemental things.
Jill, baby faced irony and iron ass to boot.
Dangerous Diane, ineluctable eyes
that pierce the crust of bullshit.
Alice, in the wedding night blizzard of '93,
short moonfaced rascal in mink coat
and plastic rain hat, likes her vodka.
Suzie the floozy, stripper turned chef,
kept the neighborhood kids full of
jello and homemade pizza.
Linda, weighted down with cheap pearls and
expensive taste, in paint smeared jeans,
a fallen arches history of pick up porn.
I will gladly lounge with them when poachers
come to pick our bones and steal the tusks
we brandished in our cool resolve.

I tried making moonshine once. Seriously. It ended up this putrid brown color. I was pretty sure it would make myself and anyone I touched go blind so I threw the whole batch out. I'm still a little sad about that.
