Let’s Go
collage and poem by travis catsull
Let’s stroll the sleepy streets
of Playa del Carmen
where the sand spills
from blanket shops
Let’s sleep in the queer hotels
of Bangkok
where the beer is full
of formaldehyde
and butterfly girls
wink at white boys
Let’s drive
a stripped down VW
to Belize
and work great gardens
in the half jungles
of San Ignacio
Let’s shave our heads
and chant Sanskrit mantras
with [...]

Take Me to Texas
by travis catsull
Where the red birds bitch in the trees
and the gardens grow septic tanks and cornbread.
Where the only pagean in town has bad breath
and the local whiskey company repairs boots.
Where the fences are made of cactus and hair spray
and the wanted signs pose whores holding tail gates.
Where the bathrooms have screen [...]

a moment or two
The moon in
the lot
shoves a shadow
off it’s leg
(sleep leg)
I find me
a table before
pouring some water.
pouring it down
in me.
Then
a man sneezes
twice
(bblleessss hhiimm)
a lime green
purse
on that girl’s
shoulder
leaning
on a brick
wall
while
a man reads
the paper
(front to back)
my tongue
is so
raw.
I know the kinetic
pool table
& the empty cigarette
package
laying
onthetable
a girl
comes up
starts talk-ing to me
as i find
a cream [...]

the avocado cartwheel
by Travis Catsull
the phone was ringing when the power went out
and water rose and ran pantoumly
only to kneel for its own cold muse
the maintenence of morning
and the vast edges of my breath
as i buried another fish
in a row of sunflowers
as she looked like a lemon
“oh my darling
oh my darling
oh my darling clementine
you are [...]

The Nite the Moon Broke In
Laying in my jail cell
with nothing
but my slippers
on the ground,
I see a shadow
creep under the bunk
as a bullet of moon light
breaks through a chip
in the window paint
And I can see
(some)
of the full moon rising
over the razor wire
as a guard fingers
the sports page
and I am laying here
with a grin full of [...]
