Emoetry
Movies Sometimes I go to movies to watch people cry I laugh when characters die I throw Junior Mints at old women When people spill their popcorn and coke, I crawl through the cushiony, sticky labyrinth of seats and feast on their waste and nibble on their feet.
Life, Pt. 2
My life is like a nude beach
but not like in Costa Rica or Hawaii or Spain
with tan men with waxed bellies and 34B's,
no my life is a beach in Pennsylvania
behind a giant salami factory
only fat naked men live here
they shake their buns (shlongs) in the cold wind
as the salami factory pumps poisonous meat gas
into the air that is my
soul.
Fruit Salad
In a forest of heartlessness,
where are the apples
that will fill my fruit salad
of emotion?
2 pears of jealousy
1 banana of exasperation
3 mangoes of hatred
and half a pineapple of unrequited love.
Bottle
The bottle of my life
once held a strawberry-banana-kiwi smoothie
but now it is empty
but for the flavorless and murderous dregs of mango-cherry-coconut-watermelon
and the film of chewing tobacco
from Phyllis, the one who drank the smoothie and drove taxis
until she was 90
then was outsourced
to her grave.
Voice
Every time a word is uttered
into the ice cold, hard air like water
from my chapped, bleeding lips
by my tongue, shriveled like a giant pink worm
only to emerge into the sunlight which
burns my white flesh like the roast beef of a
succulent pig on a rotisserie
and be squashed by the flashing Pokemon Skechers
of a small child holding a red balloon.
Therefore silence is golden and gold is black.
You
You are a snow monkey with eyes like fiery white jelly
that burns your tongue on the bagel of HELL.
You are the bastard child of the underworld
who sucks on the teet of the devil
which produces the acid of your soul,
lightly flavored with strawberry and a hint of thyme
that melts in your mouth like the cotton candy of the
traveling fair with a bearded lady
who loves the ringmaster with a burning black passion
of the wolves who play Jenga in the moonlight of your SOUL.
Dialogue of the Damned (read by 2 people)
My breakfast reeks of the grave
My Lucky Charms with 20% less sugar and eight essential vitamins and minerals
weighs me down like a dumbbell in a river
My chocolate chip waffle drenched in syrup of sadness
I choke on a chocolate bar with nuts nuts forged from iron heartbreak chocolate mixed with skim milk milk skimmed of all happiness
Pants which constrict my lets like snakes
My soul has been eaten by a horse and defecated onto a serving platter for a family-style dinner
I turn the key to a locked box full of cold spaghetti and wet socks like my mother used to feed me in place of breast milk when I was a screaming baby
I have to meet my woman at 4:50 and by woman I mean death.
