Buzzed,
Flying High
Colors floating by.
Yelling in the form of song.
Sharp pain.
Angry red and blue
Lights screaming in my head.
Maybe, I shouldn't have...
Sobbing
Hey! Cant you hear me yell?
Cracking glass,
Fallen all around.
Static buzzing,
Police radios repoting a scene.
Ambulance flying...
Mom... Stop crying...
I was just flying...
Buzzing like a bee...
Wait... What have I done?
This just can't be.
Crunch of metal,
Baby's wailing cry...
Or is that coming from me?
Single moment of clarity.
"Reporting live from the scene,
2 Dead and one injured.
When driver, intoxicated, hits another
Car head on."

Snacktime Sonata Challenge Winners
Well, your Snacktime Sonatas made us hungry, and that’s about the highest compliment we have. Food — taste, smell, sensation — is a powerful conduit to the past, to memories pleasurable and painful and sometimes bittersweet, a mixture of comfort and challenge. Congratulations to Penny Fuller for Sativa — it’s a first win for Penny — a hymn to the “secret, unbounded/freedoms” of fresh peas in the pod. The narrative voice of the poem doesn’t really want to be outside, but finds joy in the green things of the earth; this is a lovely work of resilience.
