[I'm struggling with this one... It wants to be written but I sure as fuck can't hear the damned thing... This was from last weeks Mag. Totally stumped me.]
take your trashcan trophy
and leave me be
remove me from
the pedestal
on which I never belonged
it was your fantasy
of who I was not
rather than any
Tony winning
performance of mine
what you see
is what you got
with your eyes closed
dust off the gilding
turn to turpentine
peel skins away
reveal the charred interior
and revel in the discrepancy
of what you wanted
against the reality
of me
See what I'm talking about? This would have been the best one!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing...
i see what you mean...it has some seriously kick-ass imagery and a stunning message....
ReplyDeletei really, really like it -- i think it's definitely worth working on...perhaps some distance is required..last week is pretty close, still.
"what you see
is what you got
with your eyes closed"
