Az is by Laura DoomThe
of meaning?
The brevity
lacking
The cheer
of a crowd at a hanging
that serves to demoralize
The distance
between two points
of view
The euphemism
that dissembles my wish to know you
not that you give a fuck anyway
The first
of many that will not last
The gratitude
you feel
I owe you
The hunger
for death
in the media
The irony
one expects
The jobbywhack
whose suddy moys dismardled me
from certain hypnoloppity
The knot
in my stomach
when my tongue is tied
The lover
whose vehemence
reduced me to tears
The mute
who loved me more
than she could say
The not
in my stomach
when my tongue is loose
The only
one
The power
to confound the oppressor
The question
that invariably answers mine
The reflexive
nature of this statement
The stacatto
sound of onomatopoeia
The trite
bit that is somewhere
near the bottom
The ugly
face of my retro alarm clock
The very
suggestion of hyperbole
The wealth
that generates poverty
The x
that resembles your former value
The Yorkshire Pudding
my mother made in prison
playing scrabble (0)
The zeppelin
that led to the absence

Posted by Alison McKenzie on 01/22/12 at 06:26 PM I started to quote my favorite lines, but I soon realized I was quoting almost all of it, so I erased, and said this instead. OMG. You and your words ROCK!!! |
Posted by Shannon McEwen on 01/22/12 at 08:30 PM I had the same problem as Alison I couldnt pick just one line I loved the best, really like this as a whole. |
Posted by Mo Couts on 01/23/12 at 05:21 PM This is so intelligently written and well done. I, too, like the others, couldn't pick a favorite portion; just a gem overall! |
Posted by Gabriel Ricard on 01/24/12 at 12:07 AM Brilliant. You make it look easy. |
Posted by Ulyss Rubey on 01/28/12 at 02:53 AM I laughed a lot, but guardedly, so no one could see me if I missed the point. |
Posted by Rachelle Howe on 01/28/12 at 07:40 PM One of the hardest forms to rock out effectively and you do it in spades! |
