“The Academician”

A lunate mouth ajar
in simplified stupor
awaiting a fly to enter
on mission to liven up the brain.
A fly will go into the deep,
into’s the deep,
make brain look to dance;
make man look to earth
rather than to bleak firmament
where his eyes are wedged.

Suck out the intellect,
syphon out the yearling
from brightening insect.
They’ve got pandemonium in spades
and refuse to relinquish it.
A type-one nutcase with dysphasia
forgets the feeling of euphoria
and the mind found bleeding
bled by Pushkin
and thus falls indicted in merriment.

A finger bone set into motion
brought to life by a power tool
decided to stick a human up its
fictitious nose
because it was tired
of being shoved into the closet.

Thanks everybody, I got this poem in my head so I decided to post it. It seems now a rarity for a poem to creep into my brain, like the fly eh?

Yes it's me...
