Six Nostrils on a Man Planet

               I put a microphone inside  ↖  my ribcage

                        Just to hear my own heart beating

My biomass bleeting  ↑↓

Singing, seething saying “someday…..”

            Yippie yie yeah kie yow

   → Oratory badiddly ←

                       Kie yow

Glow bright →            yon fallywarthings

Gading gading badiddly

                        You are too now!

In this momentary singualarity àß

Sing song singalope grazing ↘↘↘

Yippers     zip yippy

Unto ↘ and out through ↗  your throttle

            Yon hip hippie

…Fwumpy-dumps

You zephyrean       wiggle-o-ton

            Say si and slap ambugaton

Ay cap’n    Ay!

and a bottle of thumbs ↓

Yaaaare ↖  and ↗  yaaaaw the shiply shapples

            Understood is to understand

↗→→→↘ Sling slang… frussily… mustardly!

And filthily take the harrumph!!!

            Now walk it à

                            ß And walk it well…

You skatilio!   wump

I see

       say

             sai

                  so

                    sailing     a     zephyr à

We all sump     the pump!

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is a sound poem. It uses imaginary words, heavy alliteration, and has a visual dimension as well. I always found that this poem works best when read aloud.

I find this poem..

I find this poem difficult to understand. Have you given any thought to combining it with 'Ten Kneecaps on a Child Asteroid'? Then you'd really have something! I am the walrus. No goo goo. Just g'joob. Come back Wednesday.

PS - I totally agree with you. This is a very sound poem. Not sure about its author though.
