Much Ado About Nothing

Typical chest-beating testosterone Braggadocios tales of digital conquest Wannabe pick-up artist paint the Don Juan canvas con lip sly palate best Locker room omission of depleted ego transmission: repeated clicked dial tone Boastful teen wolf puffs ain’t saying piggly much Nothing burgers be flipping the script, phantom date ... Monkeyshines gon tell you all about it Mean Jane Doe skirt euphemisms smock cover an empty, flaccid affair Donkey Kong down under, braying in limp pole position, got an index finger waving in the air Perpendicular rumors pointing upward with misogynist, grapevine swinging flair But it’s all just vain ape talk, didn’t nothing Tarzan happen ... just hormonal loneliness taking a fictional jungle walk Much ado male whispers, Romeo nothing getting the pride jitters Nobody must Juliet know that not much of anything happened tho’ When the girl interrupted pillow party call came — that lucky number ... whose virgin reputation was put to gossip shame, she didn’t even recall his tarnished name

To create, one must bare their soul without dying...with John Coltrane's scat-genius musings on his cd "meditations" in the background I read this scat-immolation poem of perfection! Thanks again, Freddie!
