Reminds me of Car Wheels on a Gravel Road by Lucinda Williams.@butters, with no intention to take anything away from the bite of your poem, I have to say that "pale weeds and broken asphalt" would be such a good title for a country song.
I love that album. That and World Without Tears are my favorites of hers.Reminds me of Car Wheels on a Gravel Road by Lucinda Williams.
She’s an amazing musician and writer.I love that album. That and World Without Tears are my favorites of hers.

Sharing is caring... unless it's an ear-worm. Thanks a lot.Great. Now I've got Al Green stuck in my head.
Actually I'd pass on all three - now Anais Nin ................is a different matterSimple Truths
You loved Henry Miller, Saul Bellow. You loved Kerouac. I love you.
It was an off the cuff video of something composed on the fly. There is no written version, and it really only works as spoken word poetry. I will try to download that video onto my phone, but I don't know how to post that video onto here from there.Hi JaySecrets - please, I would love to read your poem however you posted a Link? I don't click on links....is it possible to post the poem in the thread?
You should try Vocaroo.It was an off the cuff video of something composed on the fly. There is no written version, and it really only works as spoken word poetry. I will try to download that video onto my phone, but I don't know how to post that video onto here from there.![]()

I was, yesterday, wanting to metaphor a smile as a hundred-Watt light bulb, and got stuck wondering if that makes any sense in this new era of LEDs.A Thousand Watt-
LIGHT BULB!
Hey Mr Wat_Tyler, "Bad Wiring" is an exceptional piece of writing. Thank you for posting it.![]()
lol not only are LEDS replacing lightbulbs, but Lighthouses are obsoleteI was, yesterday, wanting to metaphor a smile as a hundred-Watt light bulb, and got stuck wondering if that makes any sense in this new era of LEDs.
It's a powerful poem and a great example of what erotic poetry can be imo. For all the (really like gazillion) graphic poems classified as erotic here, great metaphors and sustained images almost always work better.lol not only are LEDS replacing lightbulbs, but Lighthouses are obsolete
Although a little clunky it would seem the poem still holds its secrets![]()

I did wonder though about the use of "taunt" and whether you had meant "taur," but then I realized it works either way and maybe making that reference vague is intentional. Or not...I have an overactive imagination.![]()
OMG sorry! I meant "taut"! I usually check my posts but I got a phone call and y'know...mea culpa.lol I had to look taur up!
Great insight there my friend!Bathroom Mirror
I saw him again today,
beard was more white than grey
and even his eyebrows were starting
to blanch away,
paler and paler;
His eyes met mine, like always,
bagged and sort of glazed
like sinuses were troublin him
or he was simply on the edge of
being overwhelmed by the emotions
of being himself;
I wanted to ask why he kept
showing up like he did, no warning,
nothing common courtesy would require
but he never said anything, just moved his
lips and mocked my speakin to him;
Which was a pity, since I couldn't very well
not take the risk of seein him,
not if I wanted a decent shave
or to make sure I'd parted my hair properly;
If only I knew where he'd come from,
and how much longer he was planning on
appearing to me.
