Brighton Bar Reading

Off to read at the Brighton Bar tonight.  I think I'll read a mix from "The Departed Friend" and some from "Supposing Roses."  Of course, if anyone decides that the Christmas "Not So Silent Night" Poetry Show is the perfect place to get pointlessly political, I'll have to pull something from my hoary arsenal in "Black Champagne."  Time will tell what fools these mortals be....

UPDATE: Went on second for the evening after Dan Weeks. This precluded any "revenge" political poetry--which was called for by one and all. Only Anthony displayed a spirit of bipartisanship--by casting Bill O'Reilley as the Grinch, but having his heart grow at the end of the tattling tale. Dems and "thems" are instructed to embrace "peace on earth."
