two new poems

35.

 

it came as a gift

a childhood ago,

this symbol i hadn't

seen for years.

i'd nearly forgotten.

but its foil familiar,

this cell came back

to remind.

cadbury creme egg,

you've been missing

so long.

your green, your blue,

your red evoke something

i now cannot know.

cadbury creme egg.

 

 

36.

 

i'm gonna be in big trouble

some day.

i'm gonna be in big trouble

some day soon.

i can feel it in my chest,

i'm f*cked.

 

i look down at my keyboard

and let out a sigh

at once contemplative and meloncholic.

i hear her blowing her nose around the corner

and when she stops i can hear the

tv again

and my heart beating.

and my thoughts again escape paralyzation

from knowledge of death.

 

a light is switched off

and my eyes grow.

i'm a living drunk.

 

 

my walk through the day

on the dark and thicklky laid pavement

of a lower-class section

was full of life.

there were dogs on piles of trash

muzzled and chained to the bottom

of hollow trailers

barking. literally

trying with all the energy they had

to come loose of the chains

and get to me

enjoying bird music

though squinty eyed

and sad when thoughtful.

i once came upon a dead squirell

on one of these thoughtful walks

and i stared at it then.

i thought,

one of me is gone.

Well, I don't really get the meaning of the stuff you wrote. It doesn't focus on one incident. On the opposite it is rather vague and boring. Sometimes you completely change the subject, with no connection to the previous one whatsoever.

 

I don't have anything against you btw. I like some stuff you write. Just not this one in particular. Ok?

Cand, I like them man. I love the way you actually have a very real sense in them, and how your humor comes though them.

 

I liked 36 a lot, but honestly felt that you should of ended it at i'm a living drunk. The end tailed it out, where I think if you formed them separately, with 36 ending at living drunk, they could both have more power.

 

@TNT - You need to learn tact. You can say that you think someone has a "talent for talking crap" in a much better, and more constructive way. Plus, if you really had any criticisms to give him in the first place, than why didn't you give them to Cand then? Oh wait, defense mechanism...right.

Hmm. I see what you're saying, REC, but I have to disagree. The abrupt transitions are there intentionally, I guess just a style I picked up. One of my other, I guess you could say, trademarks is to contrast absurd or mundane events that take place with something deeper.

 

TNT, that will suffice. Couldn't you have explained yourself the first time instead of resorting to saying I've got a talent for talking crap? In retrospect, I shouldn't have stooped to your level and called you a stupid f*ck, but you have to understand how I perceive it. I perceive it as someone who doesn't know what they are talking about commenting on something that is over their head, and with an attitude. I have little patience with that.

Yeah, I understand my mistake. Lol this sound like an excuse but it was late when I posted the reply and I just wanted to get the reply over and done with (lame excuse) Anyway, no hard feelings man, I respect whhat you say. Let it pass.

It is defiantly an individual trait, and it's awesome how you own it.

 

Keep on posting these up man, because I enjoyed reading them, and whatnot. smile.gif
