An inexplainable self-explanationA Poem by NatalieYou don't need to ask a thing.Got up at six in the afternoon pulled on a coat, went out for a show Everything in sepia all around me crowding up the opera room and bundles of clouds
I look around, though I have limited vision Your face and soul compressed, stretching across the room I don't even recognise you anymore but the preformance starts anyway
dashing bold figurines twiddle out on stage contrasting to the background like nothing i've ever seen before so beautiful I get lost
after such delite we are soon shipped off to a dismal, damp basement where an old box-television awaits on a stand Which I believe housed the matnee 'dumbo'
arguing later with thy authorities, I scatter off in rebellion I hope this upsets you I really hope it does
Arriving quite late, tired from the journey Walking down a highway to possibly no-where I settle in a texan motel overflowing with paying customers and people who get payed. "there's one room left, though it's a bit torn up."
"It's fine, I'll take it" Soon i'm aquainted with the manager. She's a designer, the one that I like We're like friends now, we'll share clothes
A knock on the door awakens me from a restless slumber though she comes in, the coolest kid I know Her clarinet strikes me across the face And i'm told to come home
We'll stay for tea, a bit Though as we're seated, I notice something strange The fine speck of bright red from a lazer pointer On her forhead, I pull her out of the way
PHSHHOOOOOOOOM Glass flies everywhere Folk jump through the window In all-black and barrets
Though they had a semi-automatic rifle with them, they ment us no harm Just the local beatnick squad looking for deep poetists They had some tea too.
"Well, since you're on your way home," one fine fellow said, his razored black hair styled neatly "we mine as well aquaint eachother closely" He pulled me in for a kiss
Meanwhile, strutting downthe street, was the authority I once had dissed Lounge-walking now, he melts slowly gooping down the street
Like dough that's when swung around and about, he's a blobular mess With a single arm in tact, reaches out towards the road with a fist and one thumb up
An oldsmobile finally stops for him gathers himself in a pool and then flops lazilly into the car straking down the roads so fast they're here in a-
second.
