Poem Title:
Poem
I say the word and feign a Freudian slip From between its legs duplicities drip Often doubling as a quip and tasting chalky, just a bit History will record the troubling truth that I never existed if I don’t submit I’ll submit this thing as if it’s a soliloquy while being transparent with reverse psychology When transparency is brutal it packs a voice and reverse psychology, feudal and conundrous remains my voodoo doll of sadistic choice I’ll submit to this contest and play my part of being a number somewhere south of the winners art Once again I’ll suck up to the system and once again with all its heart the system will suck me down without even a gesture of orbiter dictum A social mirror once said, “we love you, submit to me” I used to show it what I wish I could really be but it cared more for its own scripted ego and tried to love me like a gas-lighting lover so I gave it the finger more than ten years ago I’ve been told that only the cream earns Summa Cum Laude I graduated Some Come Later from the hallows of a Christian god So how should I wear the facade upon this stage?

No offense but I should just go
