Poetry 101: by Cristy Joy
Saturday, July 29th, 2006Man I’ve been very poetic lately. Hmm.
Anyway, here’s another I just wrote.
what what
———–
everything is nothing
until you choose the perception
yet sometimes there’s a cage
within the mind
there’s no escaping the miserable corporate
punishment
especially in the anti-chapstick world
agree to disagree
never bowing down
the battle of integrity
sleep until there is no tomorrow
face cleansed with fresh tears of frustration
knowing is one thing
feeling is another
never a victim to either nor to circumstance
evil expectations
or perhaps a dream and a vision
reality a soul incision
the ruddy muddy boots keep stomping
laughter echos inside the empty box
as the walls are built
ready to tear it all down
and replace with windows
yet, immobile
imaginary nightmare step aside
it’s time for the next stop on the rollercoaster ride
the peak is coming
seatbelts strapped on
going to fly with eyes closed
heartbeat getting louder
life meditation
love medication
what a long strange trip it’s been
