25. kari edwards, "short sorry"

I'd rather be named Kerry Edwards than Bush Cheney (sorry, bad joke). This poem is like a short-story put into a blender and mixed up, resulting in a "short sorry." It may not be the best introduction to kari's work for the uninitiated; it could come off as a little clotted and forbidding. The frequent use of "quotes" and random capital letters makes the narrative, such as it is, less fluent. The poem comes into focus more for me in the second of the two prose paragraphs. 8.5.
