topic: it's like a koala bear... (eat my keystrokes, gabe.)

by Rachelle Howe


no one had told you
the sun only shined while
the moon was on vacation.
they should have.
you could have taken
those glasses off.
but you were naive
in assumptions, in ascertaining
the metallics with which
you burned your own holes.
your ribs will heal.
your heart hasn't lost much.
but you flailed that night,
with your arms outstretched,
praying to a foreign god and
indulging your vodka bottle.
you said it helped you sleep at night.
you said it was your goodluck charm.
you said lots of things,
like the time you were naked in the snow,
shivering, tripped out on mushrooms
and muttering things like,
"it feels like a koala bear
shit a rainbow in my brain!
Ooo.. the colors!" then fell face first
in your own piss.

so this is what you've become:
whitewashed, and sold-out.
this is what it means to be nothing.

Damn.

The true winner in all of this is me. I know where the topic came from, the poem is not directed at me, and I got to read the poem. Go team, go! :D

How could I have missed these goings-on? I've got a good deal to catch up on. Looks entertaining, indeed.

It seems there is a war going on. Unique images that take the reader on a trip as well! ;)

babycakes, you couldn't get it done three years ago, and you can't get it done now.

A most amazing poem! Oh! —the story I could trade with you - were it not for my better nature warning me to stop right this moment! I will add this to my faves, and save the spillage for a rainy day...
I am so glad I found this!
