Syntax Issue 10
Denver Syntax
{from rambo goes to idaho}
  scott abels


Sometimes when whales
are sad and confused
they beach themselves.

Slam me like a junk drawer.
Lock my jaw like an umbrella
over the rail of the bar.
It is the end
of another dolphin day.
Rambo and Anna Nicole
Smith looking in a mirror.
In the jellyfish gallery
of the Boise State aquarium:
a penis colored penis.
Everything’s normal.
