so dun coloured outside

1.
should the
multiple
diminish
the
choice
would
peal
clever like socks paired
in a dryer full of haystack needles
but mixed together
all colours
go
dun

3.
cacophonic 88 clay minor diminished
silence is a drop of latex
dribbled down a warm thigh
isolate
in seizurediazepam10mgrapidpushthroughtheendotrachealtubesize7.5tillthe clatter

5.
stops
and the eyes close and the jaw slackens with a light
sense of tension release in the rest of the room's collective assholes

7.
then sit putting
feet up noting
sock don't match
and the name of the
work just
drops
room 4
oozes out onto the floor in
the fluorescence
while the boy slowly belongs once again to the woman who birthed him in the anxious white dress

11.
the morning of her sister's grade 7 piano recital

13.
so day unabating
with hardly a thought to the neuroelectrical power surge and the turnip angel named dagiar who visited the boy, ( now seated, eating arrowroot's like he's never set eyes on a square one ) just before the burst of light, the winged turnip angel who told him he was jesus christ for a day
so he better not get things messed

17.
all he remembers is a pretty green noise and the smell of the white dress, the rub of the knot on the back of his neck

19.
the arrowroots taste like socks and socks somehow today are the best damned food in the whole world

23.
don't match
funny
so he laughs

29.
smile and pat heads and think we're superheroes
dagiar goes outside and calls the firebrigade back
because jesus christ, he was wasting so much

31.
he only had that day

I especially liked the lines "silence is a drop of latex / dribbled down a warm thigh" and "while the boy slowly belongs once again to the woman who birthed / him in the anxious white dress".

I'm a random who happened to find your journal. I hope you don't mind that I commented.

You're very welcome. I enjoyed reading. :)

My photo
if a photo, image or dress isn't mine i'll identify who's it is, or at least from whence it came.
