The N Word

The N Word

A Poem by Gastroc.

i act, act, act
afore the clapping spectators
even when not present
bravo, blue eyes,
well done.
blow to the mic.
and figure-eight the wires
platforms are for
fools
I'd rather crowd surf
into the plams of
the in-laws
to be?
TO BE.
Because he saw something
good
in me
Breathless now
like the b*****s I
never, always, sometimes
envied
Pros and cons to all such plans
for which agreement comes
processed.
left only partially digested
and backstage,
backstage she's left
throwing up
the memory bits of me
for i hold the stone
I chuckle into the microphone
bow with the card in my sleeve
Thank you, thank you,
I'll be here all week
and I'll never leave.

Well you write like I do, vague at points, but so damn interesting I like it that way. All time favorite area of this poem other than the falling for someone and feeling happy for once, had to be.
"left only partially digested
and backstage,

WWOWW. Whatever stone your holding (whatever control you have on this person) is amazing. She's crumbling because of you and that is awesome. So meanly intense. I'd like to hear more about you smiling off someone else's pain. I loved it. lol OR this occurred to me, the girl backstage is you, falling apart behind the scenes, but pretty in front of her "spectators". That is more understandable than the other analysis.
