Cotton Anxious (Edited by YumnaKay)

Focusing on locusts...

 I focus on

locust

hocus pocus

corpus 'n' oak'us ​- ​cloak'us

forest broken 'n' soakin'

evokin' mopin' ​; ​a rope'n elope

and slope'n​...​

​I'​m open like robes

​...​hose me down​...​

​...​hopes crown​...​

​

I'​m bound to sound

round my pound​,​

out of drowns​,​

so air hounds​ --​ abound​.​

​

I'​m loud in a cloud​,​

the ground amounts​

 to an ounce of mounds

-- and now​ --​

​I'​m bound

a bat outta hell

as​ -​ ​I​ fall and

sell myself short​ ...​ at bat​.​

​I'​m a rat​ ~​ so phat

​

I'​m cracked at the seams

​...​it se​e​ms​...​

my means are weaned

and lean, now sleep​

and dream​​

of eating ​​reams​.​

​T​he paper bling

that screams

as the mean king 

reaps ​-​ with ease​.​

​I'​m asleep and cream-filled​ 

​a donut​ ​still​ -​- 

​I​ will be​ --​- still​.​

​M​y will is filled

with obnoxious krill​,​

that kill and kill​...​

like the pill​​

​...oxycotin​...​

​

N​oxious​;​ ​I'​m

cotton anxious

forgotten angst, christ​;​

it​'​s drilled into my head

a bill of dead bits

lead to lead a message, Zed 

- in a bottle -

when will the mess begin​?​

​

I'​m throttled, a model citizen

and ​--- ​it ends​,​

no rest for trimmed

and

~ gobbled friends​.​

You two have made me so smile :) truth I can feel Yumna's mind jumping here and there taking the lead for Your own mind to jump after, and I'm pretty sure You liked so much the freedom it gave You, I feel real joy through the whole piece, where nothing else matter, the whole world doesn't matter!
Thank You both!

Thank you, Light, glad to share a smile

You never cease to amaze me with your work. How you come up with so many thoughts all at once to craft a cocktail so rich in images that seem unconnected, yet so real. Even when you mention oxycotin, you could have referred to oxytocin the hormone, or oxycontin the narcotic pain killer, who cares. Even though at my age I'm past this kind of rap culture, you make it so fun to read. Keep them coming friend, and give 'em hell while at it!
