This is Gibber-ish
A Poem by
Esoteric Strand
This is gibber-ish,
just warning you.
Halfway to meaning something,
or partially saying something to
someone
who doesn’t get the point-
me in the direction of the suckers-
born every second-
hand strikes stupid.
Why ask:
why must there be-
more like your Mother-
who art in Heaven-
is missing an angel-
unbedeviled by the details-
is a magazine I don’t read-
in-between the lines-
I crossed, or snorted.
So I gave up
Just read the press-
1 for English,
your call is important-
to wash your hands before every meal.
Dollars and Sense?
Things not as they seam?
No-ish
Yes-esque
This is jabber-like,
blabber-like
Stumbling, mumbling,
bumbling, verse tumbling,
fumbling. Maybe meaning:
“words with my troubles”
Empty thought bubbles
up top to a froth then
pops and says: look elsewhere.

Your mind is full of excellent gibberish. It is a definitely interesting piece of myriad ideas all jumbled into one great piece of work.

I love the play on words in this piece. Some of it is understandable and some of it not so much. It is a unique and creative piece.

Enzo you brilliant fuck. How are ya and thanks for the friend invite.
S**t yeah. This thing eats poems. This was three extended stanza's of utter phrases like "whatchamacallit" and "you know, its like..you know?
The Radiohead dollars and sense gives it a musical flavor, slmost saying, can't find it in song either.
Even the Chris Berman nod was tight.
This was a fun ride.
Nice work
