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.

Episode 49: Pixie Dust and Sparkles

March 5, 2018 by PBQ Leave a Comment

December 7, 2016 by PBQ

“By the way, I have some very positive things to say about the candy cakes.  The industrial aftertaste didn’t show up until 30 seconds or so after eating them, and even then the aftertaste was minimal.  The texture, though, was something so elegant, it tasted like something out of the Old Testament.  And the peanut […]
