Challenge
From the Read
(: Please write from the reader's perspective... any interpretation, but I'm interested in knowing more about the reader, real or imagined, intellectually, psychologically, physiologically... whether it's how the words are unparcelled or how he or she or you is settling in... or maybe the afterword... no need to tag me... I'll be here to comment. Thank you all! :)
The Way Reality is Played
Snip snip
snippety snip...
somedays I read everything
the wrong way
Snippety snip...
I scrap book my fabricated self
for the fortnight
like punishment
is a videogame
outside of life
the motions...
calculable and safe
in concrete...
like there is no other way
no tubing through
no alt key memory card
in the pocket sleeve
no monkey wrenched
in the charred cake
of Marie Anoinette's
individual wrap ready-mades
a dashed dotted pattern...
for me to retrace
a white plastic slicker
cloaked in inner shadow
snip snip...
snippety sniper snip
I sit am bushed
cross hair cut
under the money tree...
washed and weathered
funny the lively sound paper makes
along the littered trail
in my wake.
