minute deliberation before extreme & blatant pontification

By theBAC

tempers rise
igniting like flames
to spark in the eyes
& ejaculate tears
devoting promenance
declaring a promenade!
oh, hark! to the max!
desire & flatulence!
ticky ticky with the time
to rhyme, wine & dine
explode the drums
& pluck the strings
piano wire lashes
falling from your face
fire burning
a glowing hearth
“also spake zarathustra”
projecting from the phonograph
arms outstretched
fingers curled
back arched
shadow cast like
a fisherman’s bait
catching onto the joke
whose punchline
dangles in the air
like the 82 man from the gallows
on all hallow’s eve
deceiving the masters
shriek a shrill “oh, please!”
touch me ‘til no one sees
trumpets blare
and we’re here
naked in the sea
oh, glory!
rapture!
atrocity!
to decree!
it’s time to start
my final solution
bow on your knees
to me
