Sex With A Dictionary!

By NarcissusNarcosis

I have become hypnagogic
watching this
pestiferous quest
for superiority
wearing your
meretricious mask
producing only ersatz work
denigratory towards anyone
who isn't having sex
with a dictionary...
Does magniloquent speech
now equal
skilled poetry?
A tautological cataract
of complex
vocabulary
appearing intelligent
to toady friends
but becoming the
ennui of the masses...
Dyspeptic love
for myopia
stentorian insults
hurled at originality,
barely ancillary to the other
cheap imitations
but smelling like
VD-infected testicles
all the same...
Let the
innovators
staunch
this sisyphean trend
and sing our victory tune
in icy sprechgesang...
