Satirical Slam #86; Lint
here there everywhere over the carpet and under the floor between closed doors and locked away in the cellar.
The forty three yard line the back of a sticker a slowly emptying ink cartridge where does lint come from?
Powerpoint slides and water bottles floating on vulgar chimney smoke.
Air ducts,
Fingernails on the whiteboard cleaned by photosynthesis,
The barren desert that will be as the blossoms are pumped out and the undertaker bicycles through,
fire hydrants and the marble in churches,
worn away from where people have knelt.
The barren desert that is, as the flag is burned and the line of people stands before the firing squad.
The blue balloon flies far above where does lint come from?
Gum on the street standing in a queue metal factories and thick window glass Speed it up.
Train of thought the little idea that could be derailed where does lint come from?
fire alarms adjust the thermostat welcome to Cairo rosemary cactus chair cushion.
cracked floor large wooden pillar light switch table cloth clap turn it down where does lint come from?
The majestic concrete stands tall, profound, unassailable.
Mirrors and lamps with tiny purple tassels.
Sometimes the cat purrs and it is blue.
Rugby and chapstick *pause* candles,
unlit and nickels the large computer screen says I am here corkboard standardized testing.

1. Very interesting question. Where does lint come from?
ReplyDelete2. A very fastpaced poem, something that I think is rare. Also I think it would be specially good as spoken poetry.
This poem is really unique. I like the rambling, almost hysterical as it delivers blow after blow of words. The reader becomes overwhelmed with the randomness. The question you repetitively ask makes the poem funny and also witty. It really sets the tone.
