Anthony Robinson likes old punk rock, cheap wine, strong coffee and girls whose names begin with K. He is a graduate student in Eugene, Oregon, where he teaches, writes, and spends far too much times in mid-priced ethnic restaurants and musty old bookstores.


East Bank Poetry

Ghazal

When on high, we wandered Babylon,
cruised parking lots, Circle K, the Church
     of Christ, in a Ford Centurion.

We built a conscience, when on high, shower
     steam and yellow beer,
Abbey Road, and raw green tea, the lusty devil
     in the mirror!

When on high, I couldn't tell my ass from a hole
     in the ground.
Red-haired women mull around, singing songs
     of Ezra Pound.

When on high one night in 1995, we made love      like jackals on the floor.
The Hamlets and the Prufrocks had gone home;      I didn't hear the slamming door.

At the conjunction of beauty and evil, we stood
     on high,
on a grid nine times nine, pulling cantos from
     the evening sky.
