32 ounces of Superman

you sell blender words in smoothies … rose petal reds mixed with shimmery ice diamond mirages …

citrus over -night endearments sprout like trays of wheatgrass from your lips …

i sip shots with orange wedges and buy 32 ounces of Superman…

but your smoothie promises never fly…

because I was only a customer… only the next customer …

and when you’re done with me you tell me “go to the back of the line…”

got to get out of here… find someplace where no one will see me bleed orange into a styrofoam cup

Hi, my name is Kae Bucher. Thanks for stopping by. I was born in the Florida Keys, but grew up in the Bay Area before migrating south for college. I completed my bachelor’s in English at Fresno Pacific University in California, where I minored in Christian ministry. I have also had the privilege of serving as a youth pastor. In addition to teaching special needs students and raising four children, I also studied Special Education as a graduate student at FPU. I have now been writing for over twenty years. Recently, I have written articles for iPatriot, and I am in the process of converting my front room into a greenhouse. I like storing humor and greenery, weeds and poetry, in mental tin cans. You will find my humanitarian dreams and political leanings organized accordingly. Feel free to dig through my buckets…
