EVE WAS A HOT CHICK
How far is too far
when
digging
deep
for
the
nothing
that has little value
for a man
with nothin’ left to
lose?
We could be talking
about Erectile Dysfunction
You could be
I’m not.
That subject is all
played out
for me.
Digging past the
center
through to the other
side
may not be painful
(not at all once you
hit the hollow middle)
but it can certainly
be one
hell of a ride.
“You’ve lost your
mind”
I said to me
and as it was
my last known
ass—
et they took
before I was let out
of
mob mentality
bankruptcy.
I sit on my staked
out
street corner
eating
gifted Adams rib,
some chick
with bright curls and
dark eyes
handed me
while I stared at her
tits
wondering if I could
have a drink?
I tried to eat the
steak
to the donator’s
last teeth marks
but she tasted so
good
even though
I wasn’t hungry,
the meat felt like a
lovers kiss
and
not their bacteria.
I tell you
when you have nothing
left to lose,
living
becomes
easier
once
you
have
tasted
gratitude.

You make an insane amount of sense. On the other side it may not be much fun, but the peace is worth it...
ReplyDeleteAmen to that Shadow, nothing would be better than the pain and eternal aggravation offered here/
DeleteThe erectile dysfunction subject is "all played out," eh? GRIN
ReplyDeleteThat ending, I like very much Mark ~
ReplyDeleteI do endings very well Grace, at least I wasn't grateful for the 12 ga. Easier to just walk away and not leave amess behind.
DeleteMet my demons again the other day, wrote a poem about how much I'm over this ... went to sleep, and had a nightmare about them ... guess I'm not over it ... so I scrapped the poem ... again ... defeat? ... not a chance ... will keep trying ... and will win ... so will you ... Love, cat.
ReplyDeleteMeowmomma I won already, I just haven't been paid yet. Demons--they gotta have something to do too you know. Play with her and see her as you remember and play.
DeleteOh, you. So funny and so profound at the same time. Yes, you make a lot of sense. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWell no ds there is a first, someone saying profound, funny and sense all in the same sentence regarding me. Thanks you.
Deletemark, i don't much like this, except the final 8 lines and 8 words are gold.

To tell me you don't like this means it worked kj, any reaction but apathy, is one of the points of poetry. But it would be good to know why you don't like this.
Deletegratitude makes most things a bit more paleteable....
ReplyDeleteum you have played out ED...well...popsicle sticks...
and duct tape...ha...smiles...
Comes a time Brian, and it is different for everyone's biology, that carnality just ain't that big a deal anymore. Duct tape? hmmm why didn't I think of that?
Deletenothing left to lose? I can't quite figure that out. Breath-less might be that spot.
ReplyDeleteOh I could lose my breath life and a few material things more but what is (was) dear to me seems to have moved off for the most part.
Deletelol.
ReplyDeleteSaucy fellow. :)
What good are ribs without some sauce?
Deletelol.
ReplyDeleteSaucy fellow. :)
Bring it on home
ReplyDeleteGot no home here on this planet I'd care for to bring it to, better to keep it tucked away in my mystical silent spot.
DeleteSo true about gratitude. I think we all need tasty reminder, Mark.
