Every day is a great big ape, holding you down and stripping your ambition ,and everywhere there is noise
Street noise, Sterile noise, The Noise of progress

Your proud you trash your room You improve the view

I'll wear what fits because
    whatever grows in this glove
      is his alone to give
    you mention Love you throw the word around
        like a rag doll in the mouth of a rabid dog
I never thought you would really listen
        now i dont know what else to say
    but I am proud I will trash this room
         I will improve the view

New lovers are nervous and tender, but smash everything. For the heart is an organ of fire

i had to stop reading while the laugh went through me.

then i read and realized that it was quite interesting.

i am not sure if there are two "speakers" or one, but its a bit of brain work either way, nice.

I like your way of looking at things -- strong and unique.....but you gotsta work on sense pauses with poet tools, stuff like line breaks and spacing, or else release the lowly comma from its Babylonian Captivity.....if you don't, methinks some good work will end up unread because people who would have liked the rest of it, will wander away because they don't understand the lack.

I think many people can relate to this.
This last line is so positive.
Very well done.

I really want to care,
I want to feel something,
let me dig a little deeper
nah, still nothing~
my give a DAMN is busted. Jodee

LOL. I trash the rooms of my mind every day, but still like pretty things....like the dandelions some try to eradicate.
Enjoyed this view today.
