Kissing A Ventriloquist.... dots

-------------------------------------------

Full Title: Kissing A Ventriloquist And Fucking
The Dummy

Usually I play the role of a condom,
spine wrapped around a sweaty hand.
All year round I'm an eccentric glove,
a schizophrenic mitten keeping words warm.

Since my voice constantly changes
I worship puberty, and the only gods
are hormones I'll never posess.

My job titles include:
Banter's Piggy Bank, Humor's Trash
Receptacle, Dummy, and
Conversation's Suicide Note.

People treat me like alcohol,
I'm a reason to say what
they usually wouldn't, an excuse
with thick eyelids, no hangover
either.

Someday I'll swim the sea
of speech like a whale
and babble like a human.
Training these mutant
vocal chords not to blow
a heart out the hole in my back.

  Outstanding. I knew there was some good stuff in here somewhere. I don't like profanity in poetry, but this was outstanding.

  Kind of reminds me of the later years of the child star Pinocchio, really interesting, great use of metaphors. I really love how you used the verbage to paint this dark cabaret style freakshow.
Great write,

  You try too hard, and it's boring. You like to think you're eccentric, but no, not much there... Do you really have anything to say? Or, is your overuse of silly phrases a cover for the fact that you can not compose an original thought?

You would love to be educated enough to be a critic, and throw your insults around. Maybe that makes you feel better about the crap you try to pass as art, but seriously, come down off your pedistal. You're just not that interesting...

Don't know exactly what to say or how to feel about it...but you've definitely piqued my interest...
