Windpipe Malignancy

They love to puff the beryl nicotine Incendiary lungs sucking down the cancerous green Hard drag queens, dressed to mass extinct kill, inhale poisonous mushroom dreams Napalm verbal smoke: fungi promises coming out of plastic windpipes Pinocchio nose choke pollute the global atmosphere with mint gripes Cigar truth snubbed in a submarine ashtray New Cuban missile crisis put cerulean code Leviathan in play Naval equatorial smoke circles ... Ring of Fire raze reprisals ends a Green Day Negotiated denials has got a jade glow As the wizened warlords sell refugee passes — Microchip markers ... gamma emerald Dragging chain smoking kings, boast ballast policies of reptilian oppression Puff fork tongues pack a blowtorch sting Black-hearted lungs exhaling cold malignant scorch gangrene Dirge windpipes hate the cure love brings

How DO you dream these phrases up?! There's just SO much going on in this poem, it boggles the imagination---at least the imagination of a mere mortal like myself. I'm in awe. ~ Gershon
