Fear and Loathing in a Stranger's Bed
By Alanarchy
It's just one of those things.
Like candle wax dripping
over
ants, dumb struck numb tongues
flung over ones shoulder.
Perhaps I stood, stricken at the notion:
Nature, stopped dead in
her tracks
in red wax
follies, blind and unbreathing
scolded
eyes for to see
And I witnessed it all, just because
there was a lag on the oxygen. I imagine
cocaine scriptures,
casting automoton sculptures
with a cracked cigarette in my
mouth.
It won't last forever, you've got to come down.
a
beating heart's syndrome, stuck in place.
Lungs breaking breath, like
bed sheets tearing.
It won't last forever.But what if it does?
She's ticking backwards, a
melting Dali, painting atrophied
clocks.
Marching like ants to an extreme.
This arduous,
and unexcused groping
blaming love that blame had blossomed
she doesn't like it when I touch her hair
but she'll
take me into a back room and fuck me.
And smother affection
like a column of insects
trailing rivulets of OJ
Slowing down
everything to a junk.beat
heart pulling too much weight, beneath her
eyes on her blind-eyelids, thinkin'
when this is all
over,
When(if) this is (ever)all over
it's just one of those
things.
Wax.
Forget it.

"I imagine/cocaine scriptures, casting automaton sculptures/with a cracked cigarette in my mouth." I love the Hunter S. Thompson, film-noiresque feel, the Capote-Chandler brown bottle, cyanide cigarette guts in this well sculptured & 'red wax'-cracked prose-poem. The "candle wax dripping/...just one of those things" sweet & soiled; the subtle weird melting surrealism... how all sense in the verses in-between the normality of the first & last lines blossom w/ an Alanarchy Syndrome that is absolutely U (the poet, of course). Pure brilliance. 10.

Great imagery throughout this piece... "forget it" is probably a good move...but hard to do...so hard to do... : ) Ciao, T/S

Nice. Absolutely riveting. THIS is what I call good poetry. I love abstract or more obscure poetry. Nice one.

"...casting automoton sculptures with a cracked cigarette in my mouth." A beating breath... (&, of course, Dali ants/clocks!). I don't know why but I am reminded of X-F Californication. [Wax]. And I never voted. Whatever, I love this work: great Gonzo...

Something about the line, about her hair, struck me as to how non-intimate such an encounter can be. You need to take me to next years Dali ball, so we can dress in melted clocks :)
