I want to say hello, how ya doin? Thurs. is the night of the boho coco#3:the strangers. We will be showing off our new lit zine issue#2. Come out to 12th Street Books at 7:30pm to hear some great Austin poets read. Posted below is a poem from one of the guests that will read Thurs. night and take you to another place. Don Webb:
Misquoted by a Mockingbird
I was misquoted by a mockingbird
My poet’s fame among the birds
Ended by his melodious four note word
I find myself quoting Robert Frost
And aksing if it is wrong
To seek to stop a creature’s song
No one around to hear
The misquoting bird’s
Melodious four-note word
Nothing to do but write it down
Off he flew, far wide and long
His absence stopping future song
His departure stopped future song
He carried away my notes wrong.

I'm definitely excited about the coming reading (you might even go so far as to call me aroused). And it's going to be my pleasure to share the stage with you, Don. I look forward to it.
