Elves of Yours

Shredded discord en masse pulp
punching smurfs to guess the colour of the bruises
Laughing at god and his plan and blaming him for all
The broken tardis
Bigger on the outside
Never follow the
rules
Look at my lips 
A hummingbird that quivers all reality
Sweating words onto pages 
Crumpled paper with jutting heads of vowels and consonants
trying to find each other in formation of essence
Who am i
you are asking the wrong person
Pulling gravity towards me
Madness is my goal and sanity my dedication
Of all the thing i have ever been 
Myself is never one

The first two lines made me wonder if she is going to a funeral or the dentist. More into the poem, it sounds like she is on vacation, and refuses to get off the couch. I like how you gave us imagination license to fill in the scenario with our own thoughts.

What a profound ending. "Madness is my goal, and sanity my dedication. Of all the things I have never been,myself is never one." Where does the reader go from here? Wonderful imagery, and punch ending, with pizazz!
