drive-in spacewalk

 

tremolo-o-O-o-O-o-(thud)-ooOuch!

 

hey sexy gunslinger,

chorus-kick my globular thoughts

into wobbly orbit!

 

fog forms on the windows

of my wheelhouse head.

 

we are dry-humping Heaven’s

wooden leg. just because.

 

higher. faster. dance star-blur! dance

like a cracked out five-jiver in Hully Gully

trance!

 

it’s that kind of party!

we’re all going to melt like emphysema

birthday candles.

 

hand me the ghoul net.

 

schoolyard sunbeams squirm the walls

of an old mason jar;

no air-holes-

no fun-noodles-

no twisty straws to slurp chunks of inspiration

from the marshy black bottom of the sky.

 

nothing-

just a naked universe

bent over her boss’s dark oaken desk.

 

I feel like I’m halfway to the finale,

and she hasn’t even noticed the starting gun.

 

at some games,

we are all amateurs.

 

mutilate my fair-skinned self-esteem,

muffle my freckly moans,

scatter my dusty bones like breadcrumbs.

 

I’ll be the sexiest wreckage

in the junkyard.

 

vroooooom! butter-butter-butter!

weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

pOp!

 

(should’ve brought more

napkins.)

These words take me to another place entirely - parallel universe, where the sky is red as blood and the grass grows grey, but man, there's one helluva party for misfit screwballs.

I thought this was the best part:

we are dry-humping Heaven’s
wooden leg. just because...

until I got to this:

nothing-
just a naked universe
bent over her boss’s dark oaken desk...

i think you'll be famous while the rest of us are trying to get a chapbook together...of course, you'll be locked up, but that doesn't have anything to do with it

A madly bubbling poem full of twists and swirls - fantastic in every sense and bizarrely magical - I absolutely loved it- it would be very difficult not to! Fabulous work - but I think my favourite bits would have to be 'pass me the ghoul net' and
'no twisty straws to slurp chunks of inspiration
from the marshy black bottom of the sky'. - wonderful words!!!

(should have brought more napkins) - lol very funny in the satirical way ..

This poem is off-the-wall, balls-to-the-wall, ten-thousand pounds of awesome.

[MuSe Ampoule]

Onomatopoeias abound!!! FFS, this was good!! Love the sounds these words produce, greatly painted.
"we are dry-humping Heaven’s
wooden leg. just because." Take care to stay splinter free! ;)

Great work!

Your quirky and interesting style tells a dark and forboding tale. To be left in jar, no air, nothing to draw our existance from. But of course, there's always the matrix to go back and hide in. :-P
