I've been writing poems for a while, but I honestly have little interest in sharing them publicly. I found this website through my (far more talented and intellectually superior) friend, and I am really more interested in following her's and others' posts than posting myself. Every now and then I suppose I shall upload a poem up its own ass with antiestablishmentarianism bull crap, but I will try to restrain myself.
Because beauty lies in minerals and chalk,
and outlandish tinctures remedy physical faults
with pastes and goo,
the daily ritual of painting flesh,
disguising ourselves from a social stigma,
compels and consumes us
Obsession over minute details,
driven by the incessant narcissism
of a portentous society,
coerces us into proclivity,
so that each day we worship a virtual image,
mere reflected light
Because of all the reticulated bones and fat and blood,
sustaining life-functions and supporting the capability intelligence
which we rarely take steps to refine,
and of the independent, incognizant cells,
working ensemble circuitously,
the web which imprisons it all is most beautiful.
