An Ether Twist

An Ether Twist

A Poem by Davidgeo
"

Too much Tori Amos ---- if it's in quotes I stole it from one Tori Amos song or another

"

confusing atom bombs with placebos

comfort in catchy jingles; dirty mind poisons

rock goddess's roiling the waters with the glory of the gods

the placebos, the poison's confusions - always mystical

~in the lusting pool~


"is you real or a ghost lie?"

Ooh-de-la-lay; sounds like silk out the mouth

but it's disgusting; so the f**k's in a name anyway?

not familair like shoes; familiar like that which buffers the cold

human familiar comfort familiar

like leather like suede like gloves for the afraid

we feel it, when the fear becomes great

it's here that we lie, grasping the precious in common

"do your worst"

a being

busy recognizing nothing

truly then

tide need not be on his side; with an ether twist; always revving

yes he's revving

"call me evil call me tide is on your side anything that you want"

passed on like a ponzi scheme

"is you real or a ghost lie?"

can you be anything that you want?

Wow! So much in these few lines. Loving the line that begins "Not familiar like shoes..." This looks like two separate pieces. I don't see anything in the second that ties it back to the first.
