A Poem by The Twin Arenas
"

the fewtch

"
It's terrible to
think of being strapped
to the belly of a
plane flying east
but that plane will land
and everything that held
on will be earthbound.

behind the convenience
store and abandoned beauty
parlour just headshakes quick
whip whip until anywhere
anywhere! anywhere else
even NOT behind the convenience
store and abandoned beauty
parlour would be echoes of
the shake, a clapper
a local blur terminating
deep within the body
of an empty neighborhood box.

NOD-not.... NOD NOT
shake up and
down and then back
and up to stare hard
at the belly and
wonder who is eating
what inside of it.

This is so wonderfully chaotic that I can't make heads or tails of it straight away. Definitely coming back to it when I need something to think on.

When I read this, it is so incredibly easy to picture it being spoken aloud, with conviction and emotion. Forcing voice into people's heads is a great talent to have, it helps carry a more powerful message. I love it.

i'm gonna read it a few more times.... maybe 25 or so. I know i will like it. I feel like you have broken a plain; within in the past couple you have posted

Brad, I'd love to crawl into your brain-space, and have a look around.
It seems like such a magical and chaotic place.

It's interesting, obscure in a good way, thanks for sharing.

Brought to mind the homeless guys downtown all sitting around behind buildings getting shitfaced on cheap wine. Good visuals here
