Tonight's Poet Corner: Brainquake

Brainquake
by Belinda Roddie

Definition:

when a man loves another
man who loves another
man who loves a woman in a
speedo sipping kool-aid from a
water fountain, and the aches and

shaking sensation of your
sense-making process shifts into a
thunderous denouement of
relationship analysis of relationship
analysis of
relationship analysis, the kind you

drink beer to in a hotel room at
two o'five in the morning, and the
Fairmont is two blocks away and Richter
just had a heart attack by the
Golden Gate Bridge, and plates move with
meals still on them and forks tipped with
trembling succulence, when the

man who loves another man
sleeps with the woman and licks
kool-aid powder off her curves and
dreams about a climax in a stone mall
unscathed by current events.
