Obviously Knot

Without reason I return letters
to sender entitled RE: Son.
Cursing innovation... that
hostile, bastard child of tradition
who wields words as weapons,
welding cold steel to paper as
fingers nervously turn the pages;
eyes find each line like a trigger.

If prepositions could pistol whip
to hold the students attention
instead of elitists debating over
the thought of a thesaurus
as being something prehistoric,
then we'd have hands, not heads
filled with erasable lead and
the butt of a gun will be nothing
more then a subject predicate.

*Editors note: The printing press is dead.
We've burned all the better quotes.

I hoped when the ink dried we'd
have died to this way of thinking,
but my stomachs in 'nots' criticizing
blind usage of such intricate plots.
Gut wrenched that you monkeys
are using pens and pads to bang
hungrily on pots and pans ever since
readers digest got an appetite!

You've tied you're own noose
but doubtfully hung upside down.
Now drown in loose leaves or
breath a sigh into blank sheets
as a subtle sign of relief for
feet buried silently in the clouds.
Before concrete thinking comes to
cement heads to the ground.

To be honest, you'll go unrecognized
because journalists are more
concerned with politics and society
then the way a dead poet writes.

Understand?
(or should I impart my parts of speech;
debrief literature, literally?)




Hmm?... Obviously knot.
We'll continue lynching ourselves to the top.

As always Mindless, your drop not only is full of abstract and creative
comparisons and metaphors, but it is also a metaphor in itself...The
rhyming in this was beautifully done, the internal slant rhymes added
greatly to the read and the flow as I read it out loud...the message/story
was fresh and original, especially with the way you approached it...
always a pleasure to read your drops Mindless

very good i really felt this, yiour play on words is amazing, i have always enjoyed your work, it almostr seemd as if there was a multi faceted meaning to this piece if so i really felt alot of it either way. the imagry was ok,
its a shame ghow restricted somone can feel, metaphors are exc. you are known for them, but is is a shame the way society is, expecialy the mass media and how politics are inveloped into the overthrow of the gov by misconstrueing, lieing and adding false accusasations based on here say to exite ratings.....
if you write for your self or a loved one, you can never be wrong!!!!
