a topographical map of a nipple and a pinch of unspeakable circumstance

Your penis is wildly out of place in the handicap
stall of the ladies restroom. Along with the peanut
butter (and mushroom) sandwiches we are cramming
into our mouths and my Solo cup of Pabst sweating
on the toilet lid. Best fucked up tea time ever.

This poison is interacting with the lighting enough
for me to appreciate the unique grotesqueness of
the meth-faced lead singer and ignore the lemmings
in the front row who have clearly been growing their
hair specifically for this event. My hatred for hot-dog
shirt girl matched only by my intense fear of Max’s
devolution into resident mosh-pit gremlin kingpin and
my sympathy for the fragile doll-child hiding behind the speakers.

I decimated the dandelion population in your yard. They
were gloriously set ablaze by my epileptic lighter. Seth
snowed stars from broken glow sticks and we rolled
in the constellations. Your epic story was then conceived:
“There once was a tiny man. He was so small that one
day he disappeared.” And then your hair began to bubble.

    so different

    Hello, I think that all your poems are absolutley fantastic. They are all so different from conventional poems, and deal with subjects in a raw seeminly passionate way. I especially like the titles, they remind me of "Brand New" songs, such as "OK I Believe you but my tommy gun don't".

    • I'm not a brand new fan, but I'll take that as a compliment. haha

      Well thanks for reading! Yea I'm not too fond of convention mostly because it puts me to sleep. And I think making the title is my favorite part of writing a poem, weird as that may be. I appreciate the reads and the comments!

    good poem...but where can i get some of those shrooms and how much did you eat?? LoL I liked tghe poem alot as usual with your work. it's always refreshing reading something of yours b/c I know its gonna be unique and original. Sorry i have no insight into this poem other than I loved it, keep up the good work. You're definately the type of girl that this guy's looking 4, beautiful, smart, sexy, talented, artistic, and articulate. Plus you seem very independent. too bad ya live so far away.

    hey raven

    i know this is before your time, and i'm dating myself (i don't mean i'm taking myself out, i mean i'm revealing my age) but this reminds me of Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds (only better) by the Beatles, i believe on the sargeant peppers lonely hearts club band album, check it out and easy on the shrooms or you'll wind up in rehab. with Brittany.

    • Thanks

      Referencing the Beatles doesn't date you. They are pretty much timeless. And I like that song a lot. Oh, and don't worry, that was my first and only time taking them. Thanks for reading!
