it’s pretent

ious

this {writing}

this {poet-ry}

(lazy)

LOOK AT ME

, WORLD (captive audience)

SOME-THING- TO SAY

     look at all these -people- //doing -things-

     //shopping //nagging //doingtaxes //eating //pickingtheirnose

AND I’M DIFFER

ENT

     I //pickmynose in the bathroom

     in (secret)

     because -heaven- forbid I have some-thing- //hanging

          like a fungus //sprouting out of my head

I //SEE

I’M A {WRI-TER}

I //WRITE

I //see the (little) -things-

//delve into ro-mance

     wonderwhatkindof silhouette herbodywouldmakeinfirelight

     can’t help that her eyes were luminescent aquamarine I could dive in

//inspect the gro-tesque (a little bit of romance in your horror)

     imaginealltheskincellscrumbleandstickbeneathyour fingernails (notyours)

     in the end, all of this is sex

and //think I’m [better]

like any of the [symbols] have a {mean}ing

that my {mean}ing {mean}s something [more] {mean}ingful

that it might affect your {mean}ing

or at least you //get what I {mean}

but I’m just //showingoff

pea-cock

plumage

mating dance or call or what-ever I want the {metaphor} to be today

Even {insightful} {introspective} {postmodern}

     bullshit

just

me

     maybe this’ll get me /published

          ’cus that {mean}s I //madeit

          as a WRI-TER

               I {mean} some-thing-
