Savage Disobedience [Combatwords Poem, from February 4, 2011]
From: http://combatwords.blogspot.com/2011/02/combatwords-february-4-2011-mischief.html
Wanna play? Go here: http://combatwords.blogspot.com/2011/02/combatwords-february-11-2011-sales.html The game is aggressive or tame, depending on the readers and players.
How does it feel to attract the whole mob?
Web intersections by hand and bike rage
Circles around you. They're calling; you come
Reaching for drivers like you—they've had it.
One of them swings at the crowd with truck door.
Missing, he leaps to the street and flings bikes
Out of the way and the crowd's confused. Pride
Strays to an anger—you call out, "hold hands
Break for the light and the traffic shall pass."
Spirits of violence giggle, slap off
Glasses and push you; they're balling threats, fists.
Shouldn't pedestrians trump their bike ride?
Shouldn't a carefully argued speech sway
Cyclists protesting cars... is it you?

SEEING OTHER PEOPLE [Guest News Poem, July 5, 2010 by Jeff Chon]
SEEING OTHER PEOPLE [Guest News Poem, July 5, 2010 by Jeff Chon]
Jeff Chon
We avoid each other
for as long as we can
and when we finally talk, the words
shatter in my mouth
like a stick of trading card gum.
I spit the shards; we stare at them,
scattered, sparkling on the floor.
You used to be so charming
to me, but now I see
the phony that you are--Flitting
from person to person--you’re a moth
who thinks she’s the light, dusting us
with your insecurity. You look great
and no one wants you to leave, but please
stop making everything about you
or me or failure to connect.
Maybe you’ll come back to me
and I’ll probably take you back;
raise a toast to dysfunction.
But if you ever manage to get a ring
on your finger, let’s not forget
who quit on us the first time around.

Jeff Chon is also the nefarious Secretary-General of vis a tergo, but you can just call him Dear Leader.

SUNFLOWERS [Guest News Poem, May 15, 2010 by Jeff Chon]
Jeff Chon
We always love the ones who snap
our stems, steal us away
and run bony fingers along
our petals. They only want
to be our sunlight, so we nuzzle
against their piebald ribcages,
outstretched like heliotropic children.

COST ANALYSIS [Repost of May 10, 2010 Guest News Poem, by Jeff Chon]
COST ANALYSIS [Guest News Poem, May 10, 2010]
Jeff Chon
How would you feel if I told
you it costs the company
six hundred dollars a week
to walk with my red vest and
PDT holstered, to pace
across scuffed linoleum,
with thirty two watts of
fluorescent tubing washing
my skin a starchy gray, with
Careless Whisper piping through
the speakers, to chase you through
sliding doors, the parking lot,
to tackle you, restrain you,
choke you out, my keys jangling,
huffing and puffing over
a five buck tube of toothpaste?
