Issue 2: Scott Starbuck

Ancient Sacred Texts Conversing

in the Library at Alexandria

That camel herder is learning

to Make a Million Deben

while his son reads

50 Ways to Seduce Women.

Near the bay window

one reads Cleopatra’s Beauty Secrets

as if inner beauty doesn’t matter.

These people have the universe

at their fingertips but they don’t care.

They’d rather read the usual goat skins.

--Scott Starbuck
