roller derby tie
at boulder county fairgrounds
red shorts on black tights



ear-splitting whistles
a passel of referees
videographer dances above



experienced coach
sits next to us
explaining roller derby



offering alcohol
and spirited liquors
11:30 am



more tattoos here
blue ink biceps
women hit women



Late summer evening
Broken air conditioner
Sweating towards cashier



Disgruntled diners
Sip watery margarita
Pirates take mad plunge



Due to distraction
Of our multiple tables
Forget to make toast



Chili rellenos
With solidified cheeses
I watch the torches



pink morning glories
cast shadow on condo
eight men moving in



shoes dangle on the line
sleepy wasps in planter box
huge hidden pumpkin



beer-soaked dinner
interrupted by sobbing
somewhere down the hall



j gels band and rush
random radio station
guys showing their age



in lederhosen
and tall white socks with black stripes
he sips beer



bombshells
B-52 Blowout tournament
10th mountain roller dolls
Miss Hell on Wheels
BC bombers
bombshells



letting go
of the pot with no handle
as she moves in



cutting through my dreams
trains roll through pre-dawn stillness



for just a few hours
it’s a bachelor man-cave
we all sip whiskey



spooky apartment
no signs of life
except for sobbing girl
