From the upcoming Spring/Summer Issue of Luciole Press 2009





Scott has immortalized Luciole Press and I (Editor Karen) along with brother Bob in a true to life poem:

seemingly yours truly can muddle through multitasking while
held prisoner by facebook
am in the process on sunday evening of responding
to link thread comments when the phone announces itself
my brother bob in nevada
i put a video link on my profile page
somebody complained and they took it down
hmmmmmm, said i
what kind of a controversial video did you post?
travis tritt singing a good song about the world
the world needs some good songs, i said
what was the complaint?
i don't know,he says,i can't find out
well maybe i'll post it on my profile and see what goes
i mean if it's on utube anybody can access it on their own
it's not one of those country western right winger type odes is it?
the love it or leave it school of lyric writing
no...and i don't even like country music
it's just a good song and there's a lot of different videos of it on utube
suddenly my facebook chat box pops open
it's karen b. from the lovely luciole press
wanting to see what condition i supposedly am in
hold on,bob,i got a tiny box in front of my face
and email the link to this tritt thing so i can explore
i tell karen with one finger
am busy on phone with brother
brother bob? karen chats back
you want me to come back later?
no i enter on keyboard i can do you both
hold on bob i got utube coming
and karen's talking at me in the chat box
i'm juggling you both
SPARKY GET YOUR ASS IN HERE AND HELP ME
(sparky must be sleeping dreaming of milk bones)
the tritt vid seems innocent enough
no erotic morrison moves whatsoever
i go to post it on my profile
bob is fretting about his taken down vid i tell karen
the vid does not show on my profile
something with the word embedded arises
lemme see if i can get it onto my space
i hardly ever drop in there anymore cause facebook's too encompassing at times
i go to log in with my space and at first my password is rejected
damn i chortle just hold on bob trying to climb onto my space
karen how's the magazine coming you should get some rest
karen says don't freak out bob
i'm not freaked, just wondering
i'm going back and forth
phone call to chat box
i should be reading more of jonathan strange and mr.norrell by susannah clarke
which is loving me with every turn of the page
the link info shows on my space but not the actual vid
the problem is utube not facebook i tell bob
otherwise it'd play on my space
copyright thing karen suggests i've had links removed
call utube tomorrow i tell bob
i dunno why they won't let you post that particular video
seems he can post other tritt vids
and no money is being made from anybody
you can see the damn thing direct on utube
i posted some olneys today i tell bob
it's his birthday monday
lemme see if they're still on my profile
i recall trying to share some videos from utube and
the only things that showed up were the link info
some things you just gotta go direct to utube
all these roads go to utube
chill out bob,play with your grandson
karen,get some rest,looking forward to the mag
i hang up the phone
i close down the chat box
SPARKY WHERE ARE YOU?
shut up,i'm trying to sleep,he snarls
i close down the computer
i stumble into the next room
i never did do any more reading that evening
