tea & kix

[ranter]

Yes Yes Yes
its all just tea & kix, right
yeah yeah
no harm done man
no harm done.

but what about all those
angry awful goddamn fuckers
who tell us no no no!
but deep down inside the
pits of their empty stomachs
they crave this freedom;
it sweats them silly
at night when they lay their
head to the cold pillow
that awaits them every night,
it drives them dizzy
knowing that they are
the crazy ones!

They are the sick degenerate
depraved desolate fuckers
that need a fix.

They are the true swinesuckers
who deserve to be hunted and
roasted over a pit
for acting on their instincts!

We need more than this view!
open arms do not await
our kind
Teary eyes and knotted stomachs
and sniffling noses do not
hold high hopes for
what we will become!

we are scorned and rejected
tested and probed
subjected neglected and DENIED!

Oh, for shame, man, for shame i tell you!

Do not snarl your lips
and roll your eyes
when you see my glazed
burned red dilated eyes
and my lips wet
with over-salivation
and stuck in place from
the lock-jaw, but
nonetheless smiling!

HA! But you will never silience
us! You will never be able to
deny us what we know
For we are the few and the many
and we know
and that we know is all that we know
once that connection is made
it cannot be disturbed
And once you know you are
connected
everything just doesnt matter.

"we are scorned and rejected

felt like I was at sunday morning service on this one. You - up on the alter speaking all your mind and smiling blasphemy with that little jig dance of yours going...yea yea yea....

I liked the party about their stomachs being empty and how it sweats them silly.......i took to that..it was just nice.....descpritions.....awe..

Hey, tea and kix this weekend?

I - think - so.

[parch]

until the last stanza it had me but i got lost among all the "that we know..."...etc. there were four "we know"'s and one "you know"...and i couldn't understand what was being known. up until then i was interested. but i was baffled right there in the last stanza. the first brought me in but the last kicked me out.

i know exactly what you mean with the last stanza, to some extent i really dont evenknow what it means...but it just came out while i was writing and when i finished that stanza it felt like the poem was done, so thats when i finished...im still looking into it-i see it as an extension of my subconscious, when you free-flow-i think it has more of an inside meaning...not really for everyones knowledge...if i figure any more of it ill post

[machinery]

an idea -

you could introduce that sub-concious thought at the end of the poem by using those dashes and parenthesis.......and maybe put them through out the poem...that way, you throw in what you want...but show the reader that it's a side thought....

Why cant we sit in his van
And not feel paranoid
(are they watching us....why hasn't that car moved yet?!?)
The fogged windows and cold breeze,
(?yes I have heat, meaning?theres no wind!?)


We need more than this view!
open arms do not await
our kind
Teary eyes and knotted stomachs
and sniffling noses do not
hold high hopes for

they cried at graduation?
why don?t they cry when i write
my masterpiece..my magnum opus!
it means so much more
to so many more people?
than that piece of paper.

we are scorned and rejected
tested and probed
subjected neglected and DENIED!
Oh, for shame, man, for shame i tell you!
Do not snarl your lips
and roll your eyes
when you see my glazed
burned red dilated eyes
and my lips wet
with over-salivation
and stuck in place from
the lock-jaw, but
nonetheless smiling!

i can talk to you...
my eyes are red from my contacts-
irritation dryness ...
i am not slurring-
i want to talk like this-
dont let how im talking interfere with
what im saying!

HA! But you will never silience
us! You will never be able to
deny us what we know
For we are the few and the many
and we know
and that we know is all that we know
once that connection is made
it cannot be disturbed
And once you know you are
connected
everything just doesnt matter.


===just a follow up to something that rob wanted me to do...im not sure if this is really what he wanted me to do...but this is how i interpreted it...i could ask him...but his snoring on my bed...so peaceful...well here it is==

i read this and realized that i like the last stanza now...it makes more sense in my head even though it hasn't changed.. i also like the added stanza's but i don't think they contribute to the poem, they seem to wander off the track. i like the 1st better.
