alleviation by alliteration -------------------------------------------
like cigarettes
painting my lungs black
something to ink my pen with
(all good words come from hurt)
almost praying for cancer
to justify this ill will
some trauma to base
to build foundation for strong structured prose
craving meaning
like cigarettes
-------------------------------------
like alcohol
sinking my self in
"you gotta sink to swim"
gotta drink it all in
parched lips press against passive parchment
kisses that promise progress
"anywhere but here"
in this desert that drains all diuretic
like alcohol
-------------------------------------
like ecstasy
if you can call it that
"fake plastic watering can"
submerged in pop...
culture?
if you can call it that
"from despair to where?"
fuck it kid, just drop it
cool. good to see you still writing and pushing poetry your own way. I want to see more, nobody writes like this and it's refreshing and rejuvenating(which i REALLY need).
wow, this is a good piece i like it a lot. your mind must be great and your use of vocabulary is awesome. big words i myself am not that good in english but you i bow down to you
i loved it. totally random to the naked eye but its like hiding in plain sight the meaning is IN YOUR FACE! i totally understand you should read my i do anything but i didnt, and medication suffocation, and tainted air.. all about the same thing though not quite as beautifully done.
this was kinda weird but i liked it. it just seemed that u listed three drugs and kinda went from there. this one confused me a lot and i don't get all of what u were trying to say
