People Watching Ii, Phillipa Armes Apr 2017

People Watching Ii, Phillipa Armes

The Tuxedo Archives

I wonder if they knew they were neighbors.

I would never have known had I not followed them to their doorsteps. I would never have guessed that these two seemingly average men happened to live next door to each other in their million dollar houses. I would never suspect such a coincidence. Was it coincidence?

But maybe I should learn to expect the unexpected, be it cliché or not. ~excerpt from short story


Tongue Twisting Word Listing, Alex Ward Apr 2017

Tongue Twisting Word Listing, Alex Ward

The Tuxedo Archives

I’m Tall like Bunyan, Pierce, and Gasol,
I’m white like Wall, but my names not Paul,
unfortunate fortune tellers break their crystal ball,
Peter Piper picked a patch, cabbage patch doll,
wicked wizardry words slippery like lotion ~excerpt from poem


The Gladiatrix, Heather Soderquist Apr 2017

The Gladiatrix, Heather Soderquist

The Tuxedo Archives

Birth me mother, please, in silence
For I’ll know no tranquil world.
Only then will life be peaceful
For I’m a rebel girl. ~excerpt from poem


Sir Gerstle's Fowl Lament, Vicki Thomson Apr 2017

Sir Gerstle's Fowl Lament, Vicki Thomson

The Tuxedo Archives

Do you hear gobbles from a haunted voice?
Feather cape, swan-like neck, on stage no more-
I, Sir Gerstle, gallant turkey, hero,
Swashbuckling star of street studded drama,
Deceased. Thespian whose sharp crimson beak
And golden feet, leaped, fencing and dashing,
Darting between moving cars, trucks, and bikes
Earning their wrath while I gave you a laugh,
Aviary Aristophanes –gone. ~excerpt from poem


Background, Eugene Rinehart Apr 2017

Background, Eugene Rinehart

The Tuxedo Archives

Dad stands in the back aisle

And smiles

I know, he prefers it that way

To being up front and

Not having a good time. ~excerpt from poem


Unfolding, Julie Muskat Apr 2017

Unfolding, Julie Muskat

The Tuxedo Archives

All the beauty in the world is contained in a grain of sand.
Once a rock, a shell, a bone
Tumbled by history
Tossed through the sea
Atoms traveling, changing, constantly evolving
Forever creating
New forms ~excerpt from poem


Haitian Bitch, Sukey Lewis Apr 2017

Haitian Bitch, Sukey Lewis

The Tuxedo Archives

Destruction of my substructure by stressed plates,
Some voo-doo curse laid it on—deconstructing my
Already worn-out, washed-up, ruined heap some called infrastructure.
Why? Too much bad blood, buried bones.
Lost babies, lost mamas, lost—
Nothing new, but nasty all the same. ~excerpt from poem


And On The 7.0 Day, He Rested, Janelle Harris Apr 2017

And On The 7.0 Day, He Rested, Janelle Harris

The Tuxedo Archives

The ground merely twitched at first.
A slight hiccup really.
I thought I had tripped,
Lost equilibrium for just a moment.
The ground bellowed next.
A roar really. ~excerpt from poem


The Harbor, Stephen Dalton Apr 2017

The Harbor, Stephen Dalton

The Tuxedo Archives

I’ve slid across the bow,
slick with settling mist,
and dropped through the hatch
into the bunk below. ~excerpt from poem


With Death's Cousin, Pastor Bejinez Apr 2017

With Death's Cousin, Pastor Bejinez

The Tuxedo Archives

I see her blood relation to death, in the wrinkles of her forehead,
Yet, I want her.
Her heavy breath, lingers out, over her damp lips
And E
C
H
O
E
S
A soft invitation, through my mind.
She slowly pulls me, closer to her smooth, magazine face
With her hypnotic, inhaled breath, full of mystery. ~excerpt from poem


Another's Plate, Pastor Bejinez Apr 2017

Another's Plate, Pastor Bejinez

The Tuxedo Archives

She’s the mother of four
Chirping and screaming
Children.
None are his own
Though he wishes
They were. ~excerpt from poem
