A string of randomly plucked cryptically metaphoric loosely connected words...

A Poem by icaros13
"

Excuse me as I wipe the sarcasm from the keyboard.

"
The flame still flickers as my torch arm is getting tired
of watching the spider crawl up my wall, but my brain doesn't mind
that my soul is mono and my desires are stereo.

I'm growing weary of no-fidelity sound systems.

Honor among thieves is imperative, because
if you can't trust the lamb chops, the terrorists have won.

I smell time coming at leaps and re-bounds.

Author's Note

icaros13
In the interest of sounding cool and getting lots of views, I considered giving this a title something like, "Sound System Sardonics", or "Lamb Chop Time Terrorists" or "Smelling Mono Spiders", but since I'm terribly honest, and don't give a shit about being cool, I thought I should call it exactly what it is: a string of randomly plucked cryptically metaphoric loosely connected words.

. an amazing title ... it's astonishing ... it's earnest yet it's very no-nonsense ... and i love the piece that follows ... the "sound" word play especially ... indeed "honor among thieves is imperative" ... and i know that "smell" ... that last line is definitely a bazooka ... superbly written, monsieur ... excellent work ...
