Methylenedioxymethamphetamine

by Melissa Panther

Follow Campbell urges
Quirks clever
Entendres doubled
Spaces small in laughs long

Rain summer during back you’re on flat
Page every on Waldo finding
Down windows, up music cruising
Sand over water salt
Streamlined curvaceously
Ciroc, Effen, choose you

Buttons shiny that
Pushed to be begged
Neck on lips
Prints on fingers

Chair tied
Sink dripping
Brazil nut earth on tongue

It’s all good for business
Whitman did speak of multitudes
And contain them I do

I love how jarring some of these lines read. Like a series of short jabs to the ribs. Nice.

Ah, the language...a puzzle perhaps and yet, as Gabriel says, jarring, lively and damned engaging when read over and over!
