“Run Dementia Men!” 'A rant for the everyman' Man Butcher, red meat pharmacist, this brain has red on it! Me mind in mental cavity feels like Russian army trapped in Stalingrad. But damn Uncle Sam stole my army boots. Goes along the lines of how Communists like to take Cuba in 1960. Woke up last night screaming: “Mother, me mother! Get this damned shiatsu off my leg.” Right here sure feels taut claustrophobic in the idiotic box. Trying to flee from life? You run for pleasure, I march dimes. Life in that way is too funny, children scare, and people scream. His father had no willy but isn’t iron just a metal too? Juxtaposition incision made by an intern at a free health clinic. Like the baby-growing factory that ran out of test tubes but had plenty of soda… Coke-can baby sings bubbles on the stove “The Brackets will brace!” I’m a plethora, damn it, Charles Dickens skilled! Sat on me couch watching the Skittles eat M&M’s. Watching Dementia Men fight those memories “We ate no pills, we like the frantic.” Once in a happier place, my dentist was an orthodontist and he had something to say more important than sexual innuendo about an ode to Charlie Rose. You stepped on yourself, at which point the air spat you out. We need to come to the realization that morons run this world too. Maybe so, I might have fathered myself, but I still hate the sperm donor! Run Dementia Men, is to what I say, cause this life and these times will constantly reflect the ratchet set I never got. And I said to the devil, "You better leave my spleen alone you bastard." |

I hate it when Kethry steals my words away from me...but she is so right. WOW...there's a whole lot of history in here, and some that needs some brushing up on, just so I have my ducks in that danged proverbial row. I saw a note where you wish you could write poetry like another poet does. Guess what? I think you've got your stuff together, just as is. And I thank God for that!  |

Thanks Kethry, just be careful of that second-hand smoke, lol. Well, that might be the nicest thing you could have said to me Karilea. It really means a lot to me. Sometimes I wish I could write things a little more understandable. People don't always "get" what I write. I sometimes don't even know what I write, lol. Thanks again And I said to the devil, "You better leave my spleen alone." |

I'm with Karilea, Ed it's not about "getting" it intellectually it's about "getting" it emotionally and maybe even at the cellular level |
