Miss Emma's Dilemma; or A Trip Through the Mist

lord viper crawled on scaffles of scissors in
a copse of the firewood fern with fireflower fragrances
a blanketing blaze the
zen of the zacatecas purple light

a black star crashes the bad babysitter
ah-pen-yen aeon flux

the an gel a rome ah of at shit she

the rainbows and fireworks of the 4th
a RAMBO movie fickers in the red dirt

can you see the china girl chasing the tiger
its chinese red scales wasted
on those sixty-two untainted

HE gets shot with the silver bullet
the egg drains from his
Egyptian limbs

A wake-up call
emergency gun unavailable
HE is encased in embalming fluid

Nowhere to turn but to the sunshine

Hi everyone! Well, Saturday is here again so I wanted to post one of my own poems again. As you have probably noticed, this one's a little weird. I wrote it as an attempt to see how bizarre I could make a poem while still having it make some semblance of sense (yay alliteration). I just re-counted and in the 27 lines of this poem, there are different 41 drug references. I'm not going to list them out, that would take a while, but basically if it sounds weird it's a drug reference, from the "bad babysitter" to the "emergency gun." The main story behind the poem was supposed to be that the speaker was experiencing a drug overdose, and no-one was able to save him. I hope you enjoyed it, see you tomorrow with another poem!
