Imaginary You

First to
starch out those faith wrinkles and your
long lines of time prattle
ancient hands melting
and your thin ribbon legs
being wrapped into uneven knots
you could barely crawl
into your proclaimed lock and key.

friends use friends you’ve said
and for years I’ve heard
your eyes screaming sweet nothings
nothing is anything more or less
than the paint that has been caked on my walls for years.

there was a bouncing orifice,
made of long expansions of hair and childhood letters,
so giddily it would frolic between sidewalk cracks, lake fronts,
covered in sand and eventually filled with the ever flooding filing system that is
a daily cup of coffee and a cigarette conversation
between myself and imaginary you

Author's Note

Word Flow; (cut n paste); approach Boredom. (scratch artist)
So many ideas, conceptions, misconceptions, and emotions overcome me when I try to single out a single topic. I feel as if I should encompass all my topics or not bother to write at all. I usually spend my time jotting notes on topics I plan to write about, short paragraphs emphasizing underdeveloped ideas, or lately enjoy pouring my emotions into script. For me writing is an unending and never finalized process. I’ve also come to expect the next day when I read my writing it will reek of shit

This was a really good piece! It just sort of had a nice artistic flow and their was a lot of truth in your words. you could really see all the emotion behind it.

lol... I relate to your authors note, you should see my notebook I carry with me everywhere. Filled with unfinished thoughts everywhere throughout. I do love this write though. Your cut and paste is working, however you do it it, it works for you darling. xo

It makes me feel like your looking into the eyes of an unrequited love.. whether real or imaginary.. I think it's great and to me does not reek of s**t;) xx

This was a good write! I loved the emotions within this piece. I would love to have an imaginary me that I could talk to...or someone else. I love the feeling. Good write. Thanks for sharing. :)
