The Poetry Podcast that gives you some culture in 5 minutes or less once a week, pretty much every week. Yes, they're all poems written by me (and all the music is by me, too), but I challenge you to listen and then tell me that it wasn't time well spent. Check out https://lefthandrob.net for musings on every episode and links to pick up the books. You support means I can afford to keep making these!

    Episode 202 - Astrophysical Considerations During Fourth Meal

    Another one from the Taco Bell Quarterly rejections file. Admittedly, reading it again and knowing TBQ's voice, this wasn't a great fit, but I still think it's a fun little piece of absurdism that I'd like to share with you. A couple more of these to go before I likely go dark again, unless I start selling a lot of poetry books and y'all demand that I carry on (https://lefthandrob.net is where you can find the links to the goods).

    Episode 201 - They keep it cold inside the Taco Bell...

    Friends, it's a been a few months and I might be a little rusty on my intro-ad libbing chops, but stick with me into the poem itself. It's fun, and hopefully up to my own standards for Weird. For this is the first in my little series of items, Taco Bell Quarterly Rejections. As mentioned in the pod, if you haven't go check out Taco Bell Quarterly. For poetry, it's a dream publication. If I could sneak in some Taco-Bell related Sci Fi, well that would be just perfect.  There's a Ko-fi link on my lefthandrob.net home page, where you might be reading this, if you want to help support the production of this podcast. And however much I'd like to see those dollars trickle in via ko-fi, I'd much rather you take that hard earned currency and donate it to one of the charities listed on that same site. Because we live in a capitalist society and the work toward justice and equality and maybe even equity requires money to run. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the poem. If you're happy I'm back, let me know with a comment or a tweet. If you wish I'd gone away for good, same.

I don't remember why. But for you, this year, on the 20th anniversary, is "11."

It evokes a feeling from slightly later in the year here in the Northern parts of North America, but hey, listen now and then listen to this episode again while you're out among the changing leaves. Plus, you can tell your friends about the podcast in the interim.
