Spent

Spent

A Poem by Shownashappening
"

I think this was an exercise of writing in congruence with the dynamics and mechanising yet terribly messy/grotesque imagery present here.. it wasn't at all idiomatic but it was fun clunking away

"
A wasting begets the trodden
Who, shovelling industrial ideas as-conveyors of ear to mouth

Leads the fists to the soft spots on the pooling messes
-Those that Ideas painted into less-thans

Biled and eagerly smeared with stuttering mills
On the dark-noise projectors, receivers and rancid stench believers

Spewing black muck engulfs now, adheres to won't-be-faces
Oily run now lumped with bones and sinew, remaining spent

There's no recognizing except in mess. Enemy

About
I'm an early middle aged neophyte in many things.. always loved reading and writing for fun (the latter being of fluctuating consistency). Basically I'm wanting to write more, whether it be vignett.. more..
