because heavy rains threaten the show
—too much water backstage in the electrical
because the fest crew was freakish looking
for a shovel—ditches to dig as they didn't plan
didn't know that ophelia and other rain was coming
because they were almost shorting out—but shovel
was found—better than plywood scraps
a city hall this way sign pushing water
because i'm so wired by the rush of people
jam-packed case of arty dults and littles
who took over the last poem while i was typing
poem 25 into brokenjow.blogspot.com for the world
because i have to keep writing in heavy rain
keep making poetry or story in verse lines
or whatever it is that this performance produces
but i'm speed writing-typing like never before
because this is the wild good thing even if i miss
redeye mojo we've got glamour puss coming soon
because it's all i can do to write myself out
poem after poem—staple them to the wall
