i do not have eyes for television
box square unplugged
cable for the rats to gnaw on,
ignorant pictures
in plastic frames support the wall,
as i can only writhe
on nylon chair
that scratches skin
through my shorts,
no virtue to extol
soon a knock
on screen door
impatient and angry
the men to make me homeless,
bacon’s under the grill
beer popped froth
a conscious memory,
i once was in circulation
at the local advertiser
till it closed
shuttered and blank,
no offices or booth’s
soon in it’s dereliction
to fall under the weight of pigeons,
i belch and move
feet sore nails cut too short,
glass that is uncleaned reflects
and i see myself
scratch the flesh of receding stomach
cupboards have been bare,
why did she go
i had eyes for her
maybe my reflection was a true response,
she was vivacious and sensual
tasted of tequila and almonds,
i had become arrogant and dull,
now with soul tempered
by need not want
i was better on my own
Brian liked the words i put on twitter for the challenge so i went for it and this is the result
noun: belch, circulation verb: grill, extoll , writhe adj : vivacious, homeless random: gnaw , sensual
tasted of tequila and almonds…what a combo…nice
