| ***BIO*** James Babbs: I currently have poems in Alpha Beat Soup(February 2005), The Blind Man’s Rainbow (Winter 2005: Vol. X, Issue 2), Soul Fountain (Vol. #24, Winter 2005) and online in Thunder Sandwich (#25). I, also, have poems forthcoming in The Blue Mouse, Hazmat Review, Poetry Motel, The Real Eight View, Spillway and Zillah. In 2003 I self-published my first collection, Dictionary of Chaos which is available at www.xlibris.com. Although, I attended Illinois State University twice I have, yet, to get a degree but it sure was fun. I write poetry for the joy of it but, in order to pay the bills, am employed by the Postal Service as a rural mail carrier. In my free time I enjoy reading and listening to Neil Young. |

| I Saved The Beer |
| by James Babbs |
| at the checkout the woman
wants me to hold up the beer so she can scan it but the handle breaks and the twelve-pack falls and breaks open the bag of chips when it hits like the sound of a balloon being popped but the beer’s okay and I say to the woman at least I saved the beer and she laughs asks me if I want a new bag of chips and I say yes please and she goes and gets me one |
