***BIO*** Just Kibbe can neutralize, pluck, and eviscerate a chicken in less than five minutes. His muses are many. An ex-Marine, he was awarded the "Pizza Box" for his lack of prowess on the rifle range. The vice-grip, he's discovered, is next to duct-tape in godliness. By twisting a few arms, he found his way to Saint Mary’s College of California, from which he absconded with an MFA. His ability to legally, politely and professionally accept money in exchange for intellectual abilities continues to line his pockets. Just Kibbe, with two co-captains – Nate Mohatt & M. Thomas Russell  – built his own ship, the Pirate Pig Press, which he’s learned is more difficult to steer than a bull through a heifer pen.  But come hell or high water (and come they both do) Pirate Pig Press promotes the integration of the arts and sciences through a semi-sporadic journal of creativity: Behold: The Pirate Pig; an onslaught of pocket sized books, and performances known as
the “3-Ring Artist Circus.”  He is a long way from that dairy farm in New Hampshire.  And for butter or Worcestershire sauce, there is no going back home.  Too many chickens under the hatchet.  Too many cowbells over the fence.  Too many poems through his neurons. Email:

Death is a Fun Word
by Just Kibbe
Death is a fun word
to find in a poem, the immediate
albeit honorable discharge

hand to hand, hand to
mouth, mouth to mouth

causing pleasurable unrest
difficult to restrain

In the cemetery near the dead
In the drugstore near the drugs
hiding and seeking, sneaking
and peeking, one lively little death
every exit an entrance
an ambiance, blessed with the next
best death, best wishes, best bet
in the chest near the nipple
in the buttock near the anus
in the face near the face
bone upon bone of my happy pursuits
