Poetry Reading in the City of Roses

Kathryn A. Graves

Under the Burnside Bridge, poetry slams
and bounces off a concrete stage -
the audience feasts
on handfuls of blackberries.

The hipsters sing songs that left home
to find themselves drifting with others,
rain soaked and stacked deep
against used bookstore windows

while the overpass scrapes into a chorus,
skateboards in wearing black T-shirts
and Goodwill sneakers -
all on city time.

Spectators rock and cock their heads
to their sides not listening,
as a young man reads
pulling his hood over his head
and his hair out of his sunglasses.
