Scissors

A Poem by J.E. Stroud
"

More like antipoetry, but whatever

"

I'm in such a strange place right now. All shining chrome and sharp edges. Spiders nests in this barren landscape, a manmade wasteland, lovelovelove. The sky is a projector, clouds are red, I see myself breaking you over
and over
andover.
 I hang on your every word like that black widow by her thread. I wish you'd look at me
But it switches
click
You're f*****g all over the sky
It switches
click
I'm ruining all these nice, nice people. I'm f*****g all these nice, nice people.
I wish I were honest. I wish I weren't bound upside down, my hair blows in the wind, it's made of threads, they wrap around my body. 
I wish I were in that place where you live, everything is colored forgiveness. Everthing is colored patience. It just looks blackandwhite to me. 
 I wish Iwish IwishIwish. I still had eyes. You could see. Feel. 
 Tickle my mind with your scalpel and get rid of all this silver and give these spiders a moist and perfect home between two halves of a whole.
What
the
f**k
Where
the
f**k
am 
I?

i sense the switch of Sylvia Plath in this, the once calm senses amassing an army of screaming soldiers in the madness of summer heat. it is beautiful :)

Very interesting prose poetry... i love this style cause it is the truest form of ones self and emotions... this piece speaks volumes of how our emotions can tear us in different directions and become our worst enemy. I think it is brilliant.

Your work is dark, melancholy and FUNKY! I love it! Your work condemns those who slashed at you with their toxic words and you have retaliated in kind. I love the way you deconstruct the deacdent nature of those who burn with their archaic and toxic morality. Excellent work. Very gothic, yet chic!
