to be a part of.... by Matthew Sharpfill in the blanks.
shark in a fish bowl
swallow your soul
breathing accidentally
more unconscious mentally
an eyeball of centipede
rotating edibly
just ahead of me
out reach
i climb
to teach the vine
to be blind
wasting time
the dying unwind
diving for nothing
to be a part of something

Posted by Gabriel Ricard on 03/02/07 at 03:16 PM This has a really great slam poetry feel, with the way you set this up. Very, very nicely done. |
Posted by Kathleen Wilson on 03/05/07 at 02:41 AM Quite a description of what is required to appear normal, to "fit in". I'll take the extraordinary, like someone who can write this down, expressed like this, this unswallowed soul. |
