We pushed uncomfortably close to
the edge of decency,
you know,
purposely.
Not that I wanted to shock
or titillate you.
“Hypocritically prurient” is how
you’d probably describe me,
were you to see past the boundaries
of form and decency
into my soul,
into the amorphous bio-gel currently
holding my scraggly frequency.
On the contrary, it was done
to liberate the mindlocked me,
to strip away the crusted layers
of what i’m thought,
or purport, to be
Laying bare the naked
Neither fish nor foul,
Neither here nor there
state of being,
state of affairs,
the every me
meaningful intrinsically,
neither more nor less,
without reference to polarity
for Chrissake
to thumbprint, design
or muddling, Babel tainted
words.
So breathe, once again, my confrere
or, if you prefer, go
hang yourself
for all i care.
Indeed, it is cruel
to be kind
in the breathless world
of wilfully we
the blind

Oh there you are Mr Kettle. What a breath-taking piece!
ReplyDeleteMr Pot, I had no idea you were interested in poetry! Mr Kettle dear, don't worry. You don't have to excuse yourself. We all know that if you do summin edgy for magic it's because you're so amazing. It's other people doing summin edgy for magic who are sexualized evil bastards, let them excuse themselves. Nothing shocking in your poetry. Tea?
