plastic cups and perky ****
yesterday is like a tree
that's eating up my sympathy
carnivorous with apathy

unwilling to abstain - freedom -
it calls like an exploding train
rolling through disgusted snow
i'm right as a serpent left wrapped 'round his cane

when mosquitoes were swarming
with absinthe and kisses
i pissed away time with a drink and a tongue
and it's easy to say that you've
got all your life...
when your life is the devil
and you think you're young
and you think that your gravity
will keep you hung
when you're weightless and
faintness carouses your lungs

postcards of angels
in sacrificed poses
loud speaker fantasies floating with me
cramped letters with vowels
that pull out out the larynx
and circumvent sorrow
and magnify keys

i'm ignited, i'm firing -
"i'm locked and i'm loaded"
i'm a canon without culture
blown and exploded
i'm a pacified protein fiend
stuck on his motives
with a slug in my chest
and an animal crawl
i'm a spirit with peace
like a grease-slicked horizon...
with my eyes bleeding seas
on the insincere walls

this kind of grabbed me by the neck and made me keep reading and it definitely delivered. you have a couple of really good images here and the stark nature of self-examination is always appealing.

nicely done...




(i'm not sure if there is a "person" disagreement in the last stanza with his & my, or not, but it may be worth looking at)

I know this pain. .................nice write..

Honestly, this piece leaves me in confusion, but I feel that was actually the point. Sometimes not understanding is how we come to understand. Words that slice and dice as usual my friend.
