Black Rock, Nevada: Tuesday morning, Center Camp Cafe Coffee Shop
Parker had just settled in with a cup of coffee when the poetry slammers arrived.
"AMERICA!" Body-slam into a pole.
"THE BEAUTIFUL!" Knock over a table in an excess of enthusiasm.
"FUNDAMENTAL!" Crawling out from under it to declaim at people entering.
"FUNDED!" Flash peace signs at the crowd.
"FUNNY!" More bodyslamming, and falling over couches.
"PHONE HOME!" All fall down.
Okay, maybe she ought to move out of the way before they spilled her coffee.
[For any Burners in the vicinity]
