Last week, we had a
DeCamp blizzard commute as a William Gaddis novel. This week, it's a new chapbook of poetry called "
Voices on the Bus," by Belleville-based blogger, journalist and poet Anthony Buccino, aka
Uncle Tonoose. This volume includes poems like "The Seventy-four Runs Through It" and "White Knuckle Traveler." Here's one for the PATH warriors out there.
EVEN PRISONERS GET LUNCH
by Anthony Buccino
And there you are
on the #108 PATH train
going home on a cool
April night
busily talking,
tapping into your
little Blackberry,
talking to people,
pushing orders,
getting things done.
And, yes, prisoners
get dinner too.
Order it
here. Next week, plays and films inspired by the 6:56 NJT out of Watchung Avenue.

As long as they have wine & beer on the Acela, I'll be happy to be a prisoner.
If that was a "poem" with a bona fide artistic point, then laserboy is as acute a political observer as Lod Acton or Edmund Burke.
