Red Mosquito

a bolt of worn cloth
it given to shredding
to scissor, to threaded
to pattern, to ended
a dress, an investment
all button and zipper
too large and too tight
a breast for beheading
a working, an effort
unpainted in purpose
when really it's stealing
to a perfect exit
to failure, to fucking
Achilles' deep regret
the fight which is nothing
but flight by and itself
release it, let go it
let go, it go calmly
stop all of that gripping
save skin, and forget it

Bot poetry?

haha... looked it up... no.. not bot poetry... just venting about work

Do you work in a sweatshop?

lol... no. the poem means that i am given shoddy material with which i presume i can make beautiful things, however, the people in charge aren't interested in beautiful things, exactly. they're interested in profit. so, i am left with shitty tools and then called a failure when i fail. and, i hate failing...

i can relate.

stop all of that gripping
save skin
and fuck ego

thanks so much... i haven't written for years and years... life got all awesome and shit, and there was the facebook distraction which has become a horribly asphyxiating window to look out of, now. i went to tenclub.net to post and they want twenty bucks, AND it's a shittyshithole, as you say. the post that was on top when i left is on top now, lol... ack...
