Ballerina stance leaner porcelain poised demeanor lined up for a chance at that old 500 gram repeater. Yeah, a little firecracker, a little fire eater. Twiggy figure, ****** fire dome where her little wires teeter. Excellent muse material my ***** optics viewed ethereal Beauty, and she knew it. Arrogance. Noted, duly. Pittsburgh's resident fire ant, with a grace to match her face And a whole crew of troglodytes racing to get a taste So thanks Angela Chase; I prefer the fantasy too. And thanks to you my chickens won't be sleeping easy in their coup. Loop Jabberwocky with Calligraphy and dabbled in polygamy. purpose: ****** cyst bubbles to the surface. Misinterpret the tongue touching and hand clutching, you were baby girlie thumb-sucking But thought more than twice about it when it came to dumb-fucking. Pretty face: check Depression: not yet Appreciating phonemes, but still a nervous wreck false carrot tops to bed, awkward with the ***** work. Near waif redhead. Pittsburgh Boys. the city lurks It's been a minute since the girl scouts got at me, I bought it. Hop in the DeLorean tell Lauren that I'm off it.

Security Breach at The Hen House
The sun tipping over the horizon Lifts my lids each revolution of this Shady green sphere... And for a few brief seconds The fingers of sleep Drag me back. Warm pressure on my eyes, Pooling, (re)opening them to the last Paradise; The only oasis where your eyes are not closed And your bones are not dust somewhere Mingling with the soil in Pittsburgh. Just the same, I know you're the product now Of some hypnagogic state; Of the last traces of theoretical DMT swirling in my brain As is leaves Morpheus behind in the shadows. You're just the most beautiful hallucination The truth in the chaos of dreams Cluing me into what I've been denying For 13 years. Impossible that I've preserved you better Than any mortician could have In the recesses of my mind You are a perfect replica An unholy copy of the original All creamy skin And ocean eyes, Full-lipped smile tipping somewhere between Arrogance and joy. "I'm gone," you say. "I'm dead." Repeating what I already know "I'm dead, I'm not coming back." On repeat like the worst kind of ear worm; A carousel of sound that dips and weaves through every filament of Unconsciousness. Denial; like reaching out my hands I shove against the reality, against the unreality Against the prison sleep has woven And crash forth Damp and gasping Like breaking the surface once more Teetering over the horizon with the sun Into the waking hell of another day. The carousel makes another revolution. See you on the other side tonight.

Forthcome that which has no meaning beyond the petty dreamings of a fool. Trickled thoughts walk off mid-conversation with strangers into the vanishing managing to forget that I forgot them first way before they wandered off to inhabit the earth but that's just me being hipster, rather be in Pittsburgh because New York, too contemporary. Very hedonistic with a lack of trajectory or am I projecting to protect me from an existential vasectomy. Maybe I'm afraid I can't make it here Maybe I think I drink too much beer and Baby I should have been more clear I am scared I am scared I am scared of being a failure and I don't even know what the **** failure is or what one even looks like because every time I think I've met one they've taught me something about my life half the the high school teachers across this country couldn't. My home has taken their lives, my passion and my poisons have made it hard to get by and my parents have worked and will mostly likely die holding on to concept I now perceive as a lie That's why I so badly wanna believe in nothing but I keep falling head over heels cartoon like slips on banana peels Women; smart enough to know a poet is a bad deal but I still do it 3, 4 times a day I let someone inside and we'll make love with words and thoughts we'll tell each other what we dream of and talk about the kinds of things that can't be bought cause those are the things that matter at least to me. But I guess that's just me being hipster again.

Eratic Plastic Dysphemistic Euphemisms
I came up in Pittsburgh, the Rust Belt of hard labor with a deep love of community. As children, we collected railroad spikes from the tracks and we cut our shins on random iron shards in **** hills. Some of us were union middle-class and others breathed the gray air of poverty. That hardly mattered. As we stood atop foothills that overlooked the city skyline, soot embedded under our fingernails, we lived as kings and queens that oversaw the future. -Ron Gavalik

Polar Vortex
I waited today for a freight train to pass. Cattle cars with steers butting their horns against the bars, went by. And a half a dozen hoboes stood on bumpers between cars. Well, the cattle are respectable, I thought. Every steer has its transportation paid for by the farmer sending it to market, While the hoboes are law-breakers in riding a railroad train without a ticket. It reminded me of ten days I spent in the Allegheny County jail in Pittsburgh. I got ten days even though I was a veteran of the Spanish-American war. Cooped in the same cell with me was an old man, a bricklayer and a booze-fighter. But it just happened he, too, was a veteran soldier, and he had fought to preserve the Union and free the ******* We were three in all, the other being a Lithuanian who got drunk on pay day at the steel works and got to fighting a policeman; All the clothes he had was a shirt, pants and shoes-- somebody got his hat and coat and what money he had left over when he got drunk.

Last year's version of the mind-body problem: my mind gives orders that my body won’t obey. It’s a problem. The body’s warranty has expired and spare parts are scarce. Plastic tubes To help me drain have become part of my day. So there’s still a will. But sometimes no way. I am now my sister’s age when she died. And some nights as I lie down in darkness there’s a moment of wondering could this be the night of the Great Reckoning when everything I’ve said and done goes mute and I am gone. And crawling over me like a slow stain is dread that everything important in life has already happened. I remember some days less than my dreams. But friend, not this tone! Let us write a history of now. Body and soul, stand up and shout “Baseball road trip!” Car: check. Best friend: check. Nostalgia for a simpler time. We can fake that one. The red zigzags on our map turn into places: Six ballparks in a week. Detroit haze, gasping Chicago wind, Milwaukee self-serve micro brew Cincinnati chili and watering eyes, Cleveland’s defiant self-love, Pittsburgh’s Primanti brothers monstrosity sandwich— Burger, coleslaw, and fries on toast. The American dream tastes like fast food, But the mystery lives between the lines. Thwack of fastball into catcher’s glove, Whock! of line drive into the gap, Ball rolling free across the green While the runner speeds for home. Home. Let’s keep going, friend. There’s another bridge up ahead and a ballpark’s lights shining somewhere in the dusk of the upper Midwest and the open road unrolls toward the setting sun.

We pulled up in the drive way If it weren't for my hello kitty flip flops, my feet would've melted into the cracks of the pavement. Running up to ring the doorbell, and the smell of home rushing through my nose as I am greeted by hugs. Kicking off my kicks, and letting the beige colored carpet mingle with the bottoms of my feet. Leaping on to a couch that was stained with strawberry ice cream and memories. The lace that trailed off the ends of the curtains danced as the breeze from an open winow came to say, "hello." Splashing in a wading pool while grandma looked through Avon catalouges sipping lemonade that we made prior, in a Disney Princess Sippy Cup. I run up the stair into my room; sparkly purple bed sheets cover my bed and I crash. All snuggled up in an ocean of blankets while everyone else watches the Steelers game downstairs. As I dose off, half way through a dream filled with pink, grandpa woke me up; he said we were going out for ice cream! I put on my favorite Little Mermaid shirt on and ran downstairs. We all pile into an old BMW and start our journey to Sarris. Nostalgia and city lights fill my eyes with wanderlust. We park the car and rush to hop in line. When we order our ice cream we sit down in a red diner-hop booth. Everyone together, MiMi, Papap, Mom, Dad, Victoria, Patty, G-G, and me. And I don't know if it was eating powdered donuts on Sunday mornings Or the way that Fresca tasted after eating a happy meal, but visiting your house in that small town in Pittsburgh Is the only way that I can describe "home."

Not the drip of freeway from Pittsburgh but a rough trundle on chalk roads as flaxen skies shade to molten celluloid and I can still see them flash in August fields like a crop of traffic lights they flare as hay-bale paparazzi or floaters in the humour and hang careless in seasonable decadence so I’ll pass from the frigid, processed air and join them in their closeness. No buzz but a minor hum coming from the moment’s luminosity and then they’re gone making good on thunder’s empty promise.

Eleven dead; six injured. How does a person try to explain The enormity of such a crime-- The inexplicable loss, the pain? All were shot at a place of worship-- At a synagogue in Pittsburgh, P-A, On what began as a peaceful morning On a late October Sabbath day. Early that morning no one could have Imagined the horror the day would bring, Even though we live in a time When hatred seems to be in full swing. It takes only ONE hater To change the course of many lives In a country where underneath The peaceful appearance, violence thrives. The president says that armed guards Are what we need and not tougher laws. He bows before the gun lobby, Addressing the symptoms, but not the cause. Helping refugees get settled: For that the synagogue is known. That was an issue that irked the killer, Who was from here. Yes, homegrown! Do we ignore red flag warnings And turn our heads when someone spews Hatred of groups such as Muslims, Asylum seekers, gays, or Jews? Do we ignore the poisonous words That constantly drip down from the top? At what point do the majority Of people say: This must stop! Give praise to those who strive for positive Change with every heartfelt endeavor. And hold in your heart the many people Whose lives have now been changed forever. _____________________ May the victims' lives inspire us all by showing us the power of love, and may they rest in peace. Joyce Fienberg Richard Gottfried Rose Mallinger Jerry Rabinowitz Cecil Rosenthal David Rosenthal Bernice Simon Sylvan Simon Daniel Stein Melvin Wax Irving Younger And may thoughts of love and healing embrace the injured. -by Bob B (10-28-18)

The Pirates First Place - August
Beloveds, now we know that we know nothing Now that our bright and shining star can slip away from our fingertips like a puff of summer wind Without notice, our dear love can escape our doting embrace Sing our songs among the stars and and walk our dances across the face of the moon In the instant we learn that Michael is gone we know nothing No clocks can tell our time and no oceans can rush our tides With the abrupt absence of our treasure Though we our many, each of us is achingly alone Piercingly alone Only when we confess our confusion can we remember that he was a gift to us and we did have him He came to us from the Creator, trailing creativity in abundance Despite the anguish of life he was sheathed in mother love and family love and survived and did more than that He thrived with passion and compassion, humor and style We had him Whether we knew who he was or did not know, he was ours and we were his We had him Beautiful, delighting our eyes He raked his hat slant over his brow and took a pose on his toes for all of us and we laughed and stomped our feet for him We were enchanted with his passion because he held nothing He gave us all he had been given Today in Tokyo, beneath the Eiffel Tower, in Ghana's Blackstar Square, in Johannesburg, in Pittsburgh, in Birmingham, Alabama and Birmingham England, we are missing Michael Jackson But we do know that we had him And we are the world.

We Had Him - Maya Angelou
This moment, I am God upon this town. I compass every window spread below: each pinprick point in total looking down a pattern only overseers know. I feel the human flow and ebb each minute perceiving both with every passing breath; each lighted room has home and hoping in it, each darkening a sleeping, or a death. And nothing, nothing makes it wait to darken; had I the power it should be shining still. Some other one you have to hope will hearken, some other on some yet more lofty hill-- whom priests and people plead to, not to be as powerless to hold these lights as me.

on this cloudless night pushing through the Pittsburgh haze, daring to present themselves, entwined in cosmic tango, are Jupiter and the Moon. the bands play across a diluted Jovian face. while the storm rages on the lunar rocks and craters, perfectly visible imperfections, cast petulant shadows - reminding me that from destruction one can still find beauty.

Jupiter and the Moon
Build me like the city streets Strap my bones to solemn steel And give me an expression without inability Prop me up like the towering buildings And bend my back to the labors of industry So that I might just understand What it means to hear the steel heart beat Let these words go out from here and heal Let these voices reach and touch the meek Let the rhythm within my soul preserve And the minds amongst us finally meet So that we could savor a moments peace So that we could pad the snow laden ground And meet where the steel heart slowly beats For we are the blood within which seeps As we rise to the surface quietly Teeming with life and full of desire To actively ponder and passionately seek To understand the truth within For we are a vessel most unique To reach the travelers of time And to mold such minds as they do sleep For anytime such blood cells meet The steel heart surely can be heard In unison with every beat Be it underneath these city streets Let such an expression be heard by more than me

Steel Heart (for Pittsburgh)
This city is drowning not everywhere, not yet, but I remember when the waters rose up and swallowed Etna Millvale Girtys Run completely consumed but I was fine up on the cliff home just watching as homes became islands in the flood plane the waters settled like glass as silt sank to the bottom where there should have been grass, there were clouds and it was beautiful. But I remember after the water left and the caked filth of the world stuck around I never want it to happen again but it will the city is drowning but we learned to swim

By: Cedric McClester Since when did she become A ***** expert? Her Facebook comments Only served to hurt She talked about us Just like we were dirt She lacks the knowledge But her opinions remain inert As an anchor of the nightly news We thought she was objective Despite her personal views Which have proven quite subjective Fortunately her employer’s Action was corrective And she was immediately fired Once her comments were detected How can she talk about People she doesn’t know That just goes to show you How deep racism can go Now she no longer has Her own TV news show And Pittsburgh’s better for it As the fair-minded know Tell me what qualified her To be a ***** expert With no ***** experience For her to assert Yet she chose a stereotype To place us on alert It had to be her own bias She used to disconcert Cedric McClester, Copyright © 2016.  All rights reserved.

I am the mother of Andy Warhol. Right from beginning, Andy was special. When his brothers go to school, he stay home with me. I like to draw picture...and so did he. We even draw picture of each other. I like to draw cat a lot and so did he. When he is little boy, I leave room for one minute and he not there when I come back. "Where is my Andek?" I ask. "Where he go?" and everyone is laughing. I know early on Andy not like other boys. He go into town with me and pick out hat for me. One time he pick out black felt hat and then he go home and paint edge of hat so it has gold edge. It look beautiful. I also like to cut tin flowers out of fruit tin cans and soup cans too. And Andy always help me. Just a little boy but he take after his Mom. He was artist even then. Long time go by and Andy become grown man. I visit him in New York and tell him he need me. Then I go back to Pittsburgh but I miss him. I pack up and come back to New York and move in with him. The first apartment we live in not very nice, filled with cats and mice and roaches. Cats everywhere. Once I count twenty cats and still mice all over! I go to gallery one night for opening of Andy's first show. When I get there I have odd feeling. People there they look at me like I'm different, strange. I feel this but no one say nothing to me. I think they say things behind my back maybe. You know what I mean? "Andy's Old Mom with babushka is from Old Country." I just stay in background all the time. I no talk to nobody but Andy. I tell him how proud I am and to do right thing and find his ideas in dreams. Those are my words. But I no go to no other show of his work. Ever! He is still good son to me always but he worry too much about money. When I move here he take me to Woolworth's for Thanksgiving Day dinner. We sit at counter and have turkey platter with everything. It is not bad food but Andy look so sad because he have no money then. I tell him not to worry. "You will be somebody someday. You are hard worker," I say. "Just wait. Be patient." Even though I complain sometime, I like my life here. I watch I Love Lucy show on television. And people in New York very friendly and everyone in apartment building polite and helpful. I go to big church - very nice - on 15th Street and 2nd Avenue where I see all my friends and every day I go to A&P; to buy food. And I like Andy's friends. They kid with me and tease me and I laugh. They know I love my son and am good for him always. Andy does get angry with me sometime. He say I nag too much. I tell him he no dress right. I tell him right out that I only stay with him till he find nice girl and get married. That is my dream. Once he get married, I tell him I go home to Pittsburgh. He never say nothing when I bring this up. He is good boy but moody, very moody sometime, not a talker like his Mom, ya?

People there they look at me like I'm different, strange. I feel this but no one say nothing to me. I think they say things behind my back maybe. You know what I mean? "Andy's Old Mom with babushka is from Old Country." I just stay in background all the time. I no talk to nobody but Andy. I tell him how proud I am and to do right thing and find his ideas in dreams. Those are my words. But I no go to no other show of his work. Ever! He is still good son to me always but he worry too much about money. When I move here he take me to Woolworth's for Thanksgiving Day dinner. We sit at counter and have turkey platter with everything. It is not bad food but Andy look so sad because he have no money then. I tell him not to worry. "You will be somebody someday. You are hard worker," I say. "Just wait. Be patient." Even though I complain sometime, I like my life here. I watch I Love Lucy show on television. And people in New York very friendly and everyone in apartment building polite and helpful. I go to big church - very nice - on 15th Street and 2nd Avenue where I see all my friends and every day I go to A&P; to buy food. And I like Andy's friends. They kid with me and tease me and I laugh. They know I love my son and am good for him always. Andy does get angry with me sometime. He say I nag too much. I tell him he no dress right. I tell him right out that I only stay with him till he find nice girl and get married. That is my dream. Once he get married, I tell him I go home to Pittsburgh. He never say nothing when I bring this up. He is good boy but moody, very moody sometime, not a talker like his Mom, ya?

Dumbrowski was a 6 foot 5 giant from some hell hole mining town somewhere south of Pittsburgh. All sinew and bulging muscle he looked like a painting of the perfect, invincible warrior. Perhaps he heard the incoming whistle of his private RPG. He opened his arms as if to welcome its deadly embrace. I was circling low overhead in the waiting medevac chopper. The round took him directly in the chest. Every part of him took off in hilarious random directions. Arms went east and west. Head skyward. Legs and boots travelled south. His entire thorax just vanished. Blood, brains and skin splattered everyone nearby. Later we picked up the pieces and bagged them for his ride home; the torn shreds of a man who had been human one minute and meat on the ground just a few minutes later. Invincibility is clearly relative.

My best friend Steve had a rat named Beulah and although she wore the white pelt and pert whiskers of a domestic pet she never generated the heroics of Disney’s menagerie; rather, she’d unwind her days doing a scurrying hunch'n'hop around the perimeter of the living room. As a native Pittsburgh rat Beulah escaped the bizarre fate of her Baltimore cousins who resided in neighborhoods where the residents fished for rodents using Kmart rods and big steel hooks baited with cheese and rancid bacon. Instead, she died rather mundanely like many rats at the end of her life's only adventure fleeing the tame existence of the living room for the fresh air of the driveway where the rear wheels of Steve's dad's pickup truck flattened and whirled poor Beulah in a counterclockwise spinfest of radial belted frenzy
