a little burroughs-inspired surrealist poetry...
this was my first attempt at this kind of thing, so its a little raw but i like the way it turned out

Pacifire
That left big toe nail is getting hotter and hotter and hotter and its red and its white and its blue and its curling away like a centipede doing it?s back stretches. For (y)our Job, for your family its all gonna be ok at the finish line (walls of hands holding cups of caesar green: gold all for you, not the bad ones). What happens is now, what happens is the crushing feels good, a sweet squeeze, the vice on your head a pillow, a cushion, a hug, but you?re stuck in it, cramped between comfort and a soft place that?s so warm it stirs your stomach sick. Damp thick bedsheets got your legs in a knot, and you smell smoke (burning hair or not) and a screaming, screaming, screaming child in the other room but the light?s flickering and it?s just that easy to turn off. I know you can do it, I?ve seen it a hundred times but that doesn?t matter anymore because what we got on your hands now is greasy sticky salty blood and the problem is it tastes like candy. Those green papered People out there: chanting, waving their arms, bumping into each other ain?t gonna wait for you to piss into The Fire, you gotta hose them off and give them their sweet medesins or they?re gonna babycry too.

this is the first of several, if i get decent feedback ill post some more

ive done this before and always thought it was a great idea. wonder tho if you can break it up into lines just for the sake of reading in terms of "god that makes my mind think AND my eyes hurt"

Awesome

That's a really well-done poem.

Each time I read it, I get more out of it, and it's very well written.

Thanks for sharing, and I'm really looking forward to reading your other poems, providing you are willing to share them!

Take care.

i quickly learned that lesson after doing a couple of these

heres another:

We've Already Made Plans

A soul breaks down through the glass barrier,
riding the train of thought,
backseat driving is this one?s game.

A pill popping time machine knows the score,
to pry a forehead open involves a great deal
of the snorting, spitting horses and laughing arabian blades,
and attempting something else would result in a scentless victory over the forces
that do not behold our beauty.

It is there, lurking, surely,
this is old news to those who receive the trappings of their gifted disease,
duplicity runs in the family
and eats for strength at the kiddie table.

Any more dusting is just ridiculous.

Who can foreshadow a square block fitting a triangular hole
without the proper instrumentation
rotational mice denistry?

Potbellied bluesmen may finger the ten discounted papers dearly,
but it is their ancestry that first committed to the dance.
Skeptics have arisen ghostly mannerisms from beneath the butler?s eyes,
to paint the left as the right, and the right as green.

Who can say what comes next?
Of utmost importance now is the removal of masks,
followed by precise counting.
