2 Postcard Poems
from Postcard Poems:  Cassie Lewis & Tim Yu

Astronauts Drinking Tequila on the Moon never worry about irony, looking out over an abandoned planet.  Self- employed and sugar-bombed, 12 dancing tow-trucks tell us: “There’s no shame in knowing your limits.” There have been no reported cases of death from plagiarism, though imitation is bad for the knees.  This is it.  If you begin to plummet uncontrollably, take two parts salt and mix until dissolved, then drink. You can use these objects: paper cup, scissors, voice mail and thought. 1/24/03 Women Who Dared: Day 17 Hospital emergency doors: two, broken, linger, not down.
