Description Somewhere there's a killer
unwinding with a cold pint
A top spins his submissive
to moonlit librarians delight
freak speed readers are turning
traffic signs into run on sentences
while under-educated whipper snappers
hum highball glasses at neon lights
blinking Death Row Vacancy

Somewhere else there's a rumor
about the grass on the other side
Hippies on electric chainsaw hijynx
mainline fertilizer in salmon golf shirts
genocide infomercials break live
during do it yourself autopsy reruns
while some son of a bitching
mans best friend does a foul smelling dance
on the remote control

Elsewhere, purple pamphlets question
just where this control is coming from
simultaneously advertising performance art
a kind of windshield wiper revival
Serendipity is to be quartered and drawn
and dredged in maple syrup melted butter
with a special discount for the almost dead
from heart shaped hot tub bacteria
and "the syph"...

Meanwhile, "John I don't know"
says, "I don't know"
alone in a long halway save for
drab lighting fixtures
and a large cup of decaffeinated
french vanilla latte
he says, "I don't know"
and a bit of the too much cinammon
he put on top of the froth just
floats away
he says, "I don't know"
to where he's going
why he's here
and why anyone should care

It's an unsolicited response
to a question that isn't
And John just kind of disappears

i can never think as well in a notebook, but this is great! especially the run-on sentence part. it reminds me of this one time someone once told me in my english class that something i'd written was the prettiest run-on sentence they've read.

happy writing.
