Sometimes our muse
is written
in specific fashion,
with detailed elegance,
and with purpose.
Portrayed
a certain way:
image-rich
or with clandestine rhymes
destined to
elicit
awe,
catharsis;
bridge the gap between
soul and mind,
audience and artist.
But really...
Sometimes they're just words
thrown together
for applause:
slander
slipperily sliding
off your slithering tongue
just to make
alliteration,
to make a buck,
to catch a
goddamn stare.
The lyrical whore
on the park bench
waiting to be touched,
to be indulged
in our circus orgy.
An affair of minds
cumming on the page
with no other purpose than
to know they fucked.
