Get The Picture

Read between the lines,

Or decipher the space between ideas?

With a list of idioms on the tongue

I could make the nonsense sound ideal.

As long as the words rhyme

Then  no one cares about the content

Or the context clues of word placement

In this one man contest.

 

I'm the image of a screen print

Painting vinyl language on your eyelids.

I've been blessed with the gift of gab

Or cursed to forever feed the iris

With lies of idiopathic rhythm

Like the to and fro of dreams

Let me still the R.E.M.s

By absorbing all their screams.

 

Ramble on and on, along the lines

The true nuance of a scribbler

Let me ink the words a little darker

So you can "get the picture."
