rage
involuntary muscle
flexed in stance
and glaring eye
one brow lowered
in intent
of beware
that I mean this
watch the curling of the lip
sardonic word
in just a stare
shoulders haunched
and fists in place
one arm crossed
the other drawn
one forearm
to block the punch
the other is a trigger cocked
waiting for its chance of show...

breath
involuntary muscle
and insurance policy
for those who lost the will to live
left without the toughlove care
of just a simple slap of ass
producing rage
enough to gasp
and suck the air
if only by indignity--
what a way to start this life--
pissed--
and waiting for next strike.

heart in pump
involuntary
but it is said
through perfect love
the heart transforms to tendonize
developing free will.
Make ye note of sacred heart
it bears the signs of muscle--taut.
The striate lines are just a sign
of blood in pump because of want
without the smooth
of just because...
life because it chooses to
defying death as never was
and opting never will
as truth.

Because there's nothing else to do--
we evolutionize.

I like your slant and how you poetically expressed each verse in terse.    

Geeez, your pen must be on fire!!

Well K - even so - I was making that nasty face up there when I read this and here:

sometimes disjointed is what is needed.  I don't know the slap of ass and pissed works for me, only in that it doesn't fit the rest of the style and vocabulary.  Nothing wrong with a wee bit of shock value, but if that was the intention it didn't have an impact except for, just a, with the effort put into the poem, why did she lower the bar for those two lines. In my limited opinion, your ability to uniquely express yourself with a bit of hard edge is what is special about your poetry.  A slap in the ass and being pissed may well have their place in some of your poetry *smile*, but having read so much of your poetry, you can be a bit more creative in regards to those two lines and strengthen a fine poetic effort.
just look at the lines quoted by Janet Marie and then the lines I have a difficulty with... just too much of a chasm between the two...  whenever I read your poems, I am still taking notes...

Thank you Tim, because YES, that is exactly what I was talking about, and I happen to LIKE the passage especially with the language because I was trying to depict an angry birth, someone born with a chip on their shoulder. But because there is not segueway of understanding, it doesn't work for me either. I'll be working on this one some more. And geeez...YOU taking notes. HA! So did my shrink!

Thanks very much for the input!
