BPULLSHIT

Poem by Charles Frederickson; Graphic by Saknarin Chinayote


Researchers: Much more oil gushing from well than thought --AP


Bottomless black hole deepwater leak
Oil-soaked pelicans mired in surfeit
Froth clinging to slick wingtips
Fragile rookery sludge wallows coated

Stranded take-offs quicksand flight delays
Nonstop excuses toxic plumes suck
Landing strip-searched stained image toll
Holding pattern rescue nowhere bound


No Holds Bard Dr. Charles Frederickson & Saknarin Chinayote together comprise PoeArtry. Flutter Press has just published Charles’ new chapbook fanTHAIsies.
