i want to know
i want to know about the children in your mind
about the youngsters going blind
about the adolescent ruinings
that stop you in your tracks
about the growing up muscle mass
that dies to squeeze what words
may come

random rogets rock hard abs
pounding superficial keyboard pulse
non-shocking disco lamps
electric boredom

it’s just NOT
how you say it
it’s what you say
tricks and charmy smarmy
boring:
a dull drill
now
stop boring me

just a poem...but all my poetry is written quickly, so it comes from whatever rhythm i hear as each word hits the page...plus i always have a song going in my head, so it's probably just revised lyrics from something. :)
