flight

A Poem by Ratmeat

I am ushered through the utterly insane element
spiraling in negatiive gravity
spinning out surreal appendages
lurching tentacles demonstrate hedonistic god-fear
wings, screaming, birth themselves from charcoaled cocoons
they waltz with devils
as I shimmie with shamans and
mashed potatoe with mankind's punishment

free will
mumbo in the face of mans prototype
Mr. Lonely
Mr. Wrath
Mr. Jealous
do the Humpty in outer space
float on
grow giant
burst bright black
eat god like a cheerio
be beefy
get beastish
drool, snarl, feast
snuggle with bunnies
kiss the one you love
hug them be the warmth
blanket the worlds assumptions
and pummel them mercilessly

F*****g wow. I'm glad you posted something back up.
The whirling chaos of this is very powerful to be a witness to; you're skilful at mixing contemporary references with timeless imagery, which often makes your pieces entertaining and amusing as well as cynical and heart-warming;. Unusual combination, sure, but that's what makes your s**t Great S**t. There's some nice sentiments within this poem, as well as there being some graphically surreal situations.
Great langauge; I like the format too - it seems very natural, those two different-sized and shaped stanzas, which adds to the appeal of these words.

Overall, great poem.
Thanks for posting it/ re-posting it.

p.s.
Is the double 'ii' in "negatiive" deliberate or a typo?
