Freeverse 539

10/10/21

someone needs to hear this
is it you?
let me borrow your ear
I'll stuff it with dynamite
peel back your brain like it's ripe
shaking the quadrants
like preparing food, controlled violence
words are globs pinging into spittoons
on a copper colored ground
take them away, and you'll know
by the mess all around
you're best dressed, without a gown
holy smoke extorts
feelings sealed in envelopes
in cement blocks tossed off boats
they'll be found someday
by the undeniable push and pull of life's tide
which is edit read the other way
temporary fun and pain hot metal playground slide
