Wyvern Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 (inspired by Zadown's latest poem and supermarket vending machines) --- $1.25 Penny etch a target to your forehead. A supermarket teen skull, bones of rebellious ideal. The finger white fist, the moon and glow heart of fake cosmos cosmetics. The bleeding yellow grin beaming over mock stitch and bruise. Smiling away the homicide, like so many emoticons on skin. The whore hickey in every shade of sparkle pink. Or the nine digits of your identity. Out in bold, like the latest bank scam or your Card Validation Code. Stamped in Braille and Binary. Permanent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kikuyu_Black_Paws Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Jetlag response: Wow. That was really vivid. I liked it Wyvern. I liked the rhthym and the emotion near the end of the first stanza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
