Hello everyone! Recently, I (Matt) received an email from a poet named Colin James. He asked if I would be interested in posting a few of his poems on the site, since they have elements of both religion and pop culture in them. I said yes, although I did ask him to provide some commentary with them.
As our discussion went on, I realized that asking poets to give “commentary” may defeat the aesthetic purpose of poetry (I’ve always been more of a prose person).
Please take a read and let me know what you think in the comments section below. Also, check out the link to Colin’s books. Enjoy!

FALSE EMPHASIS IN THE ERADICATION OF
The Hollywood Sign’s location
is now available on GPS.
I was getting closer since that mishap
of emotion in the Grand Canyon.
Personally, I am opposed to erosion.
Pornographically is an adverb
used before everything yet
is evasive in its description.
But where was the Hollywood Sign?
Lost, I knocked on the door
of a colorfully painted cabana.
The person who answered proselytized
and had excellent posture.
Colin James has a book of poems, Resisting Probability, from
