A Good Earthy Tease
I have nothing against
traditional presentations
of poetry –
Though, not for me! –
personally liking a winged start:
projecting freely...as a good
enema or vomit....
letting my expressions splatter loose;
somehow mentally, spiritually willing
them to frenzied, explosive evacuation –
spewing them, by simple prayer, or devout
incantation, trusting they will somehow,
miraculously, morph into intelligible, literary
art for the less pompous man –
Indeed, I feel poetry, like a painting, as
with a sculpture is an extension of one's bleeding,
pleading, confounding, lovable, adorable blood-pumping
absolutely essential-circulatory-driving-part –
Words coming in all shapes and manner
of phrases; but mine, truly written to
slide off numbered pages – composed
for street-type rebel-folk – leaving more
learned forms to Academia's demagogues
and sages; tenured tyrants of esteemed
taste, whose treasures, to me, often have
little more appeal than dime-store paste –
So, let the suits and ties have theirs –
while my fellow Loin-clothes the choice
of these – not advocating necessarily for naked truth,
when it comes to all poetry – but do enjoy also
a good earthy tease –
