Find of the Day

By Lotophagi

on my knees typing
trashing the exhaust system
filing the cabinet away
for further reduction
on the construction
of the deconstruction destruction
dammit I keep
missing the con
and the shards of rock
are hurting
digging into soft flesh
far too unnecessary
must toughen
these weak limbs
stabbing stabbing grabbing
in the dark
missing the hole
to throw the diamond down
running with the keys
to unlock the capital
oh wait, key to the city
where’d I put it?
failing, flailing,
language barriers sonic boom
decibel impact
thrown through the room
sneezing the virus,
sleezing the sirens
I’m counting
down the members,
sorry, no, individuals.
members far
too connotative of penis.

penis. on my mind.
penis. from behind.
penis. lagging. sagging. dragging.
what a fucking find.
