Chainsaw Poetry

Chainsaw Poetry
David J Walker

The  blum blum 
Purrr
Blum blum
Prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Ignition of the 
Whirrrrrrrrrrrr into 
Action
The attraction of 
A curio crowd
Loud 
with big gulp glops of dripping
snow cones drops melting on the summer
mountain of a westbound sun
they have all come 
	to see me cut 
Poems out of Pine trees
And catch prose 
	In the breeze
Of a hot grease 
	Smelling salts 
Tourist trap gas station
Not even
	On the map
To some other destination

The chain saw whine 
	Drowns other sounds
As I cut
Four letter words 
	That rhyme
With Pine

The  blum blum 
Purrr
Blum blum
Prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Ignition of a blur of
The naughtiest words 
Learned on the playground

Found and impounded
Into poetry

As the parents hide the eyes 
Of the kids and stop and watch in shock

At the artistry of  
Chainsaw poetry
