Pinball Repairman

Christopher Fortin


slides down the glass cover half way
diddling the machines insides
under pressure of unlimited play
bumpers spasm lights ejaculate
speakers squawking ball in hand
flippers twitch in the air-
the plumber sits quietly at the bar
remembers the unclogging of pipes
