"Retarded Gravy"A Poem by Kenny L. Mitchell“Retarded Gravy” (Prophetic Fever Dreams)
The solace of quantum soliloquies Liquefy against toxic transgressions Inebriating senseless slices of Sung
A dilapidated series of twisted tales That fall across the remote consciousness Prescribing the antipathy of the soul
The proper façade of intelligence Wears thin like a false manifesto
The polite veneer of superiority Worn like a mustard stain Upon a bright black dress
Sheer visions of purple strand(s) Facilitate the osmosis of chi The divine creative force The antithesis of never was
We must sip the bitter ambrosia The nectar of the nearest loins To reach the pinnacle of Nirvana
Only by biting the forbidden fruit Will we allow veils of decadent lies To finally reveal the hidden suppositions
The blood red swatch of cannibalism Falls upon resilient despotic ears The common disregard of the populace
The laureate fills his head With thick immaculate concepts That finally lead to a sickening… THUD
The evolutionary prospectus Leads to serene gas chambers Or to lilies of stunted ghettos
Once a much feared adversary The grim distortion of death Is but a cheerful calypso singer
What strikes unadulterated fear Like the jagged bolts of Jove? Into my sycophantic soul?
The sheer absentia And myopic melancholia The one thing needed (desperately) The key missing ingredient
…LOVE
