filing cabinet

the crap that fills my head

I don't know about
beautiful,
but my mind is
sure full of clutter,
right next to the fact
about the high fat content
of French pastry butter
is a resident named
Trychophyton
Mentagrophytes, a species
of ring worm if you please,
he sits down to tea with Rhyzomes
and Chromosomes of fruit flies
from grade nine biology!
All the shelves are stacked
packed tight
with numbers and dates --
people that are dead
and people I hate --
I even know what kind of food
they ate!
And as if that wasn't enough
to make my filing tough,
I have to sort out all the
bull s**t you keep feeding me!

Author's Note

Don't ask me why I remember all this stuff or how it stays so long -- the pic is a googled pic of trichophyton mentagrophytes

Hahaha! This was powerful. I could feel your pent up angst and frustrations pouring into this piece. Raw emotion here and straight to the point. Fantastic, KL! xo :)

[Lyn Anderson]

Hey thanks Mady, I appreciate it. I shouldn't be here, but I am catching breakfast in the cafe'

[Anne Timmins]

Very nice word manipulations...

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks for popping in again, oh wielder of wonderful English, I look forward to views and reviews.

I really like this. It has a prose feel to it. It has the feeling that was written because it had to be written.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you so much for stopping by

[Marshall]

I like the cute little pussycat avatar ( no pun intended) Ok. It was!

[Lyn Anderson]

It is my p***y (pun intended) of course.

[Marshall]

Ha ha ! now we have two cute things?

[Marshall]

This is so nice and sarcastic. It drips with those bugs that get us in the end.

I like the very subtle rhythm and the rhyme scheme which pulls it all together into a tight embrace.

Love the poem. I can see you are bursting with talent and grace and intense observation of thinsg we often miss when looking around. Great talent here. Love it.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks so much, it is a very cluttered cabinet indeed, and each time I think I need to purge, I add more.:)

[Muse]

You really need to get out Sister. You think writing about mentagrophytes aphrodites, or whatever...lol That kind of talk just isn't sexy. Didn't your mother teach you anything about how to be a lady? How to be desirable and sexy or at least how to be a s**t? ;)

[Lyn Anderson]

ha ha very funny, the message is for the person cluttering my mind with bullshit at the moment ...

[Muse]

You ferked with my mind, and the damage has already been done for this evening. My husband will be in for a real treat when he gets home. ha ha ha

[Sami Khalil]

The title, the poem and the idea are all brilliant...Bravo.............

[Lyn Anderson]

Wow thanks for the kind words, and stopping by.:)

[Sami Khalil]

My pleasure...Any time...:)...................

[Frieda P]

Brilliant in more ways than one....funny how people don't see themselves!!! ;)

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks, I thought it was pretty funny myself ...

[Green]

I think the last part is my favorite. I enjoyed reading this mostly because my head does something similar, usually when I'm trying to fall asleep. The things I remember aren't nearly so intelligent (unless it happens to be the night before a test), however.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks. I think a lot of people can relate to that feeling that you are flipping through clutter to get to the stuff you need in your head, or to just put it to rest at night, thanks for stopping in.
