Bantering with Octagons

[sigh]

arrange your pain into careful compartments
like drawers in your brain
that you can open
to see what hurt you yesterday

long sharp needles
dripping

owww

 

[rubymyst]

long sharp needles burst
the bubble
my life with you..
was it a dream
or was it
real?

The sinking feeling
in the pit of your stomach
that just won't go away...

what is the definition of pain?

 

[sigh]

pain, pain go away

you think there's a buffalo under that robe?
if so, it's not as big as a banana field
or a singing elephant

ask a rhino what time it is
or a scent how bright the light might be

either way, you'll never know

 

[Effigy]

You'll never know
I dont show
Sweet mary
Any way the wind blows

Any way the light glows

Its shows

Dont go

 

[Dillinger]

Smoking bright love bowls blow scented rhinos toward the long bubble-like elephants dripping truth and time.

[sigh]

the diamond lady sings of bright
spiced fields
left rotting in the rain

below me is the fickle endtime of rhyme
a veritable feast of all delights
like mushrooms
and peanuts
and ale

don't you see how wonderful this is?

 

[Dillinger]

Sexy and bright magic mushroom diamond fields
fnord
Long needles of light flowing rain
fnord
Fickle lady the sky she wields
fnord
Your peanut is like a brain
fnord

 

[rubymyst]

i saw you
on a mushroom cloud.
a silent space,
an empty room.
you greeted me with a fleeting smile
and a bit of hesitation.
I held on to the mornings
like climbing peanut rocks

 

[sigh]

climb the rock of innocence
and another of horror

compare
contrast
measure
wonder
consider
think
pause

now...
take a deep breath, then tell me
which did you prefer?

i gagged upon the noxious remnants of a sandwich i found
amongst a field of stars
in the constellation of the earl

 

[Dillinger]

fnord fnord
Duke Duke Duke
fnord fnord
Duke of fnord Earl
Earl Earl
fnord fnord
Duke of fnord prunes
fnord fnord
CALL ANY VEGETABLE and...
fnord fnord
That fnord vegetable will respond to you...

fnord fnord

 

[rubymyst]

I prefer to be:

a flowering cherry blossom
and a nightingale's love song

the misty moonlight,
watery, bewildering

the beggar's tin
with a few thin copper coins
and this evening's rain


i choose to be:
the dew on trembling grass

what do you prefer?

compare
contrast
wonder
think

 

[sigh]

thinking thoughts of borrowed antelopes
gives me headaches
and burns a trench of forgetfulness
into the heart of anglic errors
where one might wonder
(at the very least)
why this goes
on
and
on
and
on

[rubymyst]

LOL

did you state your preference?

 

[sigh]

LOL
wink wink
kisssssssssss

like a snake, we are
all scales and measures and pits

slide snake slide
slip slide straight into me

 

[Effigy]

Inside you I will
slip straight in

and enjoy the warmth
the wet, the flesh

mmm, dinner.

 

[sigh]

dinner
baseball
bathtub
bedtime
late nights bustling to end the day

i'm wondering why the world is so full of wonder
and glad of baseballs
bathtubs
bedtimes
and dinner

light the fight fantastic, for it's only in the details where we succeed
for we gain when we lose
and wander when we run
and find glory in the miniscule dander of cats

!sneeeeeeeeze!

 

[Guest]

Ok, could someone please pass the bong THIS way?????

 

[rubymyst]

sitting by the riverfront
passes the bong
watching the leaf float
by
holds on to the dream

 

[Karen Kraft]

I like triangles. Their prickly sides always ripple with phosphoresent clouds just before they gracefully expire.








Dill? Why is talking to you often better than a flashback?

Triangles are nice. It's a good sign that they yield as well.

 

[Effigy]

bong
bong
bong
Da da da dadada dum

Hells bells

running through my mind
running all the time

then I sigh

and sigh
and moan
hi baby

 

[rubymyst]
