Gatekeepers Bribe

By Dancing_Monkey

Let me trade you any coin in my pocket for whatever taste you got
Tie you up in these knots you made me master, scraped and left enraged
Drop you in the pond. Kissed here that night
Seems compelling, lies!
Attractive architecture but a boyscout; hardly!
Seeking, telling stories like I did not have my own
A surely non tolerant face posing
We both went to summercamp remember?
Cherished desire, I just dislike the idea of some dude loving the taste of cock

    Like I've DP-mailed you before, there's a sinister undertone to this piece and as much as clues are given in this piece there's still a wicked mystery to thw whole story opaquely hinted at. Excellent. -Carl

    ha! Feels like you and the captain have been dancing too often together, and its all bribery, every moment is more of it - the actuality of changed positions, of the nature of enslavement - the lies are all that is true

    But they're useful in the compulsion - building beautiful nothings - despite the fact that every boy is a boyscout: really? Campfires are still an important feature of even modern culture, we just don't tell as interesting tales

    But I wish we'd all be able to sit around and hear Homer sung as it was sung, and Grimm coming to life with nothing but words - lies, but so beautiful as to be better than any truth

    We each have our masks, and those memoir's of childlike abandon stay with you forever, nostalgia syndrome and desire become symbolic of another greater desire - the conclusion - oh the conclusion

    Its a homage and a truth amongst lies - you get what you asked for - so is it worth paying or not? you might just have to taste it to be sure...

    chimp doggy i'm sowwy but i hafta say i don't get dis at all....i read it like three times though. i tried. but i do like, however, the fact that it is open to question. a straight forward write sometimes can just be cliche

  • A former member wrote: keymaster? this does have a coppery aftertaste; it feels nearly sarcastic with a twist of fate. .. almost like a parable of a prostitute of some sort, always coming back for more damage... .interesting

    This is so weird, and that's not criticism. I get the feeling there's an interesting story behind it. Either way, this got me thinking around it. Thanks, man. Nice work.
