The RetroLounge Daily Poem Thread (Fri 9/8/06)

What she was wearing

this is my suicide dress
she told him
I only wear it on days
when I'm afraid
I might kill myself
if I don't wear it

you've been wearing it
every day since we met
he said

and these are my arson gloves

so you don't set fire to something?
he asked

exactly

and this is my terrorism lipstick
my assault and battery eyeliner
my armed robbery boots

I'd like to undress you he said
but would that make me an accomplice?

and today she said I'm wearing
my infidelity underwear
so don't get any ideas

and she put on her nervous breakdown hat
and walked out the door

1. Oh my gawd RL!

What a depressing poem. I know women like that, and try to stay away from them. Men should stay away from them too!

3. An Atheist's lament

Crucifixion is the favored
method of death
as I go on
arms outreached
to the heaven
of dying fallen stars
weeping the blood
of ancients
on the altars
of scholarly disguise.
Dreaming of a cross
made of simple
wooden stock
just heavy enough
to carry on
a broken back.

11. it must be the mood I am in...I am so excited right now...

I will be seeing 4 DU'ers tomorrow IN REAL LIFE:bounce:



maybe the poem is tongue in cheek??

or perhaps a tad ironic??

I just did not take her so seriously by the end...
