Episode 84: Hot Pants & Sneeze Ghosts

August 4, 2020 by PBQ 1 Comment

It’s a rainy day in Philly, even rainier in NYC, and curiously blue in Abu Dhabi. We’re wondering whether you can OD on zinc, what’s happening on planet Saadiyat, and whether ghosts are real.  These poems are full of curious imagery, versatile movements and occasional hot-pants and sneeze-ghosts.

Carl Boon: Istanbul, 5:45

November 9, 2017 by PBQ Leave a Comment

The brunettes and the bankers stroll behind me in threes, each in love with one who can’t exist, each surveying corners. It’s 5:45 and the call to prayer flares up from the Modern Mosque.
