Notes About The Poem

 

Tell It In Prose

To the lust of wine, he has been judiciously celibate exactly the mark of four decades is a reason to go gaga taking the road of this pleasure, even if it is once in a lifetime he sees five percent on a bottle so attractive but it’s actually twenty five walloping in the mood he asks for number two but it’s already four on his way to heaven he thinks but under the street light he walks on his doorstep he sees an energetic Miss Minaj not at all knowing it is tired, sweaty grandma takes the nearby perfume for an unusual spray loh and behold it is an insecticide searches with the slider, for frequency on the stereo Lord, it’s the gas turner he operates sounds of no signal he converts from the aggressive fleeing gas impossibility embraces his mind from the observation of his non-living room is that the cat on a miniskirt? Or his wife oiled around her body with ketchup? he speaks of tasting a dog’s breast milk and inscribing a permanent tattoo on his tongue right in his front, Rihanna twerks he grabs with all pleasure but with arms around the TV on his way back to the kitchen with a cigarette party screams he hears but are disturbing panics just half a minute ago, smelly diffusion hints on a fishy joke lights the match stick in a room full of gas or consciousness to come back with nothing to remember lies in the midst of standing angels as the nurses care with so much anxiety and pity wrapped all round by white sheets of healing he blames others for not undoing his carelessness.

Very powerful and true. The ball is in his court and only he can play it. Chances are not good. Your poem is hard hitting and as Harry put it, your are describing a real world.

Fantastic! and NO need for pictures you have shown it all! Do not center dear friend it is no longer done and serves no purpose. Did you have to name it this? Hair of the Dog - would be a good title! Light & Love

Hahaha! A tour de force with this one, Funom! And the photos are very telling! Love the bizarre imagery as well. You have a great sense of humor. Hope this is fiction? Thank you for reading my Aristotle – it's not for all Soupers. Best to you. / M
