] Date Posted: 03:00:24 01/22/08 Tue The Curiosity Piercing screams peter out, spattered intermittently through their morbid whispers, the screams quiescing my dull thud as the torturous convulsions of me married to the convoluting breeze around me cease. In that moment, the biting burning tender dispersion Of my person succumbs to an assuaging heat. My last A prodigal laughter weaves through irascible pulsating emotions Tingling its essence -my being- through the shattered bones. And it’s funny how It’s funny HOW It’s FUNNY, FUNNY, FUNNY HOW I can still see a sea of wavering faces Signing torso crosses singing plea’s of absolution from silent lips They wondering an imprint of a person knowing them from the pavement Knowing what lies behind the façade of faces. One, two, three, Off mankind’s rectilinel profile One, two, three! Off the scrapers of the sky The sky hidden from me by queasy hazed incarnate facades. Encircled and ensconced for decency’s sake To protect the delicate in the buzzard eyed mill Those who would stare intent and in awe of me This briefly entrancing atrocity GO! Go back to your rooms you churned face amorphisms And wallow in the institutional dogma I dogmatically refute as rot Oh to be a convenient classification In an orderly room with a plate on the door Reading ‘Astronomical salary that befits a modern lady’ Or ‘Nice young mother bringing up baby’ or or, or Or, Or OR, Or OR, OR OR! Here I lie, this vulgarity with scissored legs displaying suggestive profanity To an edifice of neat little rooms with plates on the door. Where lies its edification? Why free? Why free to choose our prisons in this society with its impositions That are the shakles in those prisons That wash the spirit in distrust Of which no man disgusts Save for those in angst with morals Without a guide to splice the ironic tectonics And unveil the crux! In this manmade world where lies the crux! Where lies the crux? Manmade lives have no argument Are one Aren’t heaven sent And should suffer in the Inconsistencies of manmade for all eternity I feel my freedom I know it is hell I saw no other choice I know now I am wrong….

Date Posted: 02:05:04 01/29/08 Tue Hello Andy My take on a college friend who did this. I knew her views, and her thoughts, just unfortunately not her state of mind. Tried to articulate the anger and frustration she felt. Thanks so much for stopping by, and for your wonderful comments, they are very much appreciated. Max [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
