A free verse composition for my college poetry class.
***
O Man, Where’s Your Smarts?
Melded minds, welded visions, and hitched hearts!
The unity of two souls, O my, what a fart!
Spick and span then speck and spot
That swells and thickens
Into a pustule,
Into a blister,
Whence sprouts and spreads
A blister to blisters
A boil to carbuncles
A rough, blustery patch ruptures, O my, what spectacles!
Melded minds, welded visions, and hitched hearts!
The unity of two fools, O my, that’s a start!
A pastiche of pain and pleasure, of passion and folly
A yawning pit
A frozen limbo
Melded minds, welded visions, and hitched hearts!
What a giant crock! Of a deranged, delusional arse!
What a deuce of fancy! A disease of whimsies!
What Holy Grail and shameless mendacity!
