Choosing Words
January 27, 2021
In a sliding slag-heap slumping jumped-up
coming down, a falling full of sump
landfill pretension
Blindfold and cold rained on a thumping Bedlam
drowned emetic sink of junk
unsanctioned
The deluge spreads discharges listless dramaturgies
of no ownership and squandering
A tumbling rush emerging gush of silvered
slithered packet margarine of pasty
passions
Showers of septic slurries offal dysenteries
run awash with outhouse purgings
Surfeits thrash ears with pig-unbuttoned smears
of smack and cackle
Crass mass effusive drunken petty polluted
gaseous fume
Crashed like a rage-smashed vase sent dashing flowers,
and laughed at gladly, to the ground
Wrenching and dislocating, sense gone wenching,
wrecker signifiers, cognates badly burning
Battered and lashed spent language blasted to
the burial ground
no bandage, scuppered cache of large melange
nor comfort
