I noticed a shadow in the projected frame.
I stood holding her eyelids open
like the Venetian man, standing
between the order of her mind the chaos without.
Offering myself like a coin to Charon,
I’d suddenly been struck by a strange experience;
to smell your own saliva on a lover.
I thought if she wants to fuck me, how perfect
can she be? She read the relief on my face,
I cast myself into her, wishing well.

I swear she could smell the fear exuded
from my nervous pours, working up a sweat
feigning laughter while we splash about
in the aqua vitae. As I talked the talk,
she grabbed my hand with hers and
she showed me how to walk.

After that I wondered
if I was consuming her
or she consuming me,
and whether or not I should care.
I’ll wake up, and she’ll be gone.
The cursed liver regenerates, I’ll forget
all that I’d seen and felt,
and probably for the better. So I dropped the act
and got off my knees, I begged her to take me
all the way, to tell me how to be free.
Parting her brittle glass lips, stained with my blood
she whispered, “You couldn’t handle me.”
The world had made her hard and pellucid as ice
but she would have told me my tongue felt cold
on her bottleneck as we rushed to spill
our hearts.

An ambulance cries
outside the window
as she groans
with the baseboard heater,
we melt together
and the wooden keel tightens in
our pitching urgent sea. The bed
frame was giving its death rattle,
a man was dying
at incredible speed, knock on wood.

On dead calm open water
a tragic chorus
ever rises from the deep, sweet
breath boiling to my ears
in countless clear crystal spheres,
a siren song
composed
of notes blown round in glass bottles,
never to be read.
Didn’t think
I was quite drunk
enough to drop off,
but whether I fell or jumped, I was baptized
plumb blue in the sea
of formless shadows on my sleepless ceiling.
Holding my breath
I try to touch the bottom, diving
ever lower, down the hall of mirrors...
I would die
before I got to the bottom of it.

I woke
from the dream.
This one, where she kills me. That was all
the context I needed, a life is defined by a death.
Rubbing sleep out of my eyes
I’ll vaguely remember
the easy flick of her wrist
as she flipped me on my head.
By supply and demand
it`s me grinding out
my now so valuable golden sand.

What I say, surely could not have been
It made me feel sickly, that seaweed forest green
Why was I so surprised, I expected any type
Perhaps wet sand, or a banana gone too ripe

Lo, I thought Id seen it all, from home to bathroom stall
Exotic colors, like piquant basketball.
Once, all I thought was “Whack”, after dropping a stack
That looked demonic, a bluish almost black

I always anticipate the sight, leaning forward to wipe
But i once I nearly fainted when I saw that it was white
If theres one thing in life that ive proven to be true,
Its to expect the unexpected when you lean to see your poo.

I have a daughter, I have a wife.
One's a prankster, the other is nice.
Here I am, right in between,
They're here for me too, we make a great team.
I talk to myself in public, I love to scream!
An adorable little girl inside a beautiful man.
What is next in this guy's master plan?

>>9453353

>>9453353
I hardly ever post here. If you're not going to contribute, kindly do not discourage others from doing so.

I am genuinely interested in any published analysis of "the robot" and other puppet style moves. Or anything else that could be related to hip hop.

>YOU HAD BEST UNFUCK YOURSELF OR I WILL UNSCREW YOUR HEAD AND SHIT DOWN YOUR NECK

Because I am hard
you will not like me.
But the more you hate me,
the more you will learn.
I am hard, but I am fair.
There is no racial bigotry here.
I do not look down on
niggers,
kikes,
wops
or
greasers.
Here you are all equally worthless.
