A moment of extropy [from bad to verse]

by Laura Doom

inertia's seduction
solicits my clutch
at the ultimate straw:
I don't like people much

End-game eXtortions
Translating Redactions
Outsourcing Propriety
Intolerance
Smut Mathematics

but a poet, I love
in the heat of the scat
exquisiting this
and delightfilling that

at a stroke we are sailing
the seventh disease
under auspices spliced
from our cellular sleaze

so tease me by title
and play with my mind
fuck me with fingers
that force-feed me blind

defile me with juices
to fertilize words
that deliver sublimes
and tie tongues to absurds

bury me feathered
and stab me with quills
render me backwards
hung up on your stills

moodswings and blue genes
chic clichés declare
a mutation dilating
the eye of despair

let us shrive in the sweat
of such shady endeavours
our drivel will shrivel
a corpse of forevers

the cortex descending
subversive belief
in articulate pleasure
by primal relief

snakes and ladders evolve
into dactylic dissidents
pimping and pushing for
venal extravagance

tricyclic stability
mundane rendition
as opposites lock
into drive repetition

so ignore my transition
as prose politician
i rate my position
beneath a musician

Love the rap style of this. Can't imagine it coming out any other way. So bad...it's GOOD GOOD GOOD.

This rattling rhythm kept me reading so rapidly that I had to go back to dissect each verse. Love, in particular, "So tease me by title..." and so on, but then I would... ^_~

Gad, this is good. You and words - you place them like balloons at a huge party, knowing exactly what bumping this one up against that one will create. As for musicians, they can't fly without audio, while your words soar easily on their own.

...I crow, I chortle, I ooze with pure glee, I spin widdershins, dashing my brains out and happily, dizzily replete. Better shot at and missed than $#%@ at and hit. This ain't no shit. Thank you, wordesse. LK
