Great Regulars: At the September Hoot, Tammi Truax read

this poem during the open mic. Her imagery, never quite letting us in on what (or who) is being "downsized," is a wonderful mix of classic and modern allusions. Not often you get Sisyphus and "The Donald" in one poem, but here it is used to great effect.
