Vancouver


The aura readers of the eighties

hatched creative writers of the new millennium

flocking like hungry gulls to conferences

feeding on names to drop

in writer's groups when they return.


Sex orgies with clothes in tact

expose what's behind the curtain

dropping half finished manuscripts

like business cards in a fish bowl

hoping their names will be lured in

by Mr. Big Shot steering the boat

before their texts sink to slush

like so many before them

blurring words

clothed stories

soggy endings

until the river dries up

leaving a universal ending that carries an aura

into the next phase we can only imagine.
