Cough Syrup and Poetry
I got carded trying to buy Nyquil at Target the other day.
OK, trying to buy the Target brand equivalent of Nyquil.
Apparently all the kids are drinking a bottle of cough syrup to get high.
Apparently it's called Robotripping. (It's all over urban dictionary)
I'm assuming this is more related to Robitussin than Robocop (the movie or the Kanye West song), though it should really be Robitripping then...
unless the effects produced by drinking a bottle of cough syrup
include hallucinations in which the drinker thinks they are a robot,
are being attacked by robots, or develop robotic movements or speech patterns.
The makers of Robitussin must be thrilled.
My next assignment: write a poem about a cough medicine-abusing robotic police officer from the future.

I got some new books in the mail this week
I'm not sure how to feel when I like 1/3 of a poet's poems
more than anything else I've read in a long, long time,
but the other 2/3 of their poems make me feel an emotion
that is best described as "I want to turn the page as fast
and as violently as I can in the hopes that the poet will
feel the gust of wind this reaction creates and that
gust of wind."
Most of me is just happy to have the small amount of poems
that I really like.
I never actually turn the page as fast or as hard as I can.

Another Tuscaloosa Vignette
In my local Midas repair shop waiting room, I couldn't help but notice the outstanding array of entertainment options. It was almost impossible to choose between watching Fox News on a small TV up in the corner, reading the bible on the coffee table in the middle of the room, or flipping through the plethora of gun catalogs and hunting magazines on the other table.
In the end I chose to play tetris on my cell phone. Although I was also covertly watching/listening to two southern guys talk trucks and Alabama football while drinking from a shared jug of sweet tea.
