Tarnished, poem by Jon Bennett

  Tarnished     You can replace things   an alternator, a starter   but the real skill is in diagnosis   you have to keep learning   have a passion for it   I’m passionate about passion   but don’t have much left   I drink tea, play the guitar   the chord progressions are different   but somehow all the same   the finger picking patterns   never progressed   At work it’s the same thing   I know what I learned   in the first two years   but then seized up   I’m rebar in concrete   old silver fillings   rigid, rusting   and hampered    by a fear of pain   these scribbles of a staid teetotaler reflect   “Today I brushed my teeth   and lost a crown,” I write   but there are many things   in my mouth   that will never come out.   Jon Bennett writes and plays music in San Francisco. You can find more of his work  here  and  ...

Back on the Job!

 It's been some time, and since we have a surplus of material on-hand, we will publish poems every Monday and Friday from now on. Please accept my apologies for the length of time it's taken us (me) to get things back in order. Rusty
