Poetry
Is a slow striptease
Each poem
Removes a layer
Gradually
We expose ourselves
The audience
Voyeurs
They love to watch
The microphone
Seems larger
And furrier
Than usual
Yes alright
Is that all you’ve got?
Get on with it
She thinks
She says
I imagine with her
It’s the same with sex
Is that all you’ve got?
Get on with it
Your 2 minutes
Are up!

We do remove the layers of our complex minds, whoring out our delusional thoughts... for the amusement of others. whether enjoyment, comprehension or just a chuckle. We drop another layer of dignity... at least we face our own demons.

lol, it is overrated... it's better to be delusional and without dignity.

cool, poetry gyrating under the neon lights. a metaphor tossed across the stage, a simile or 2 thrown to the craving audience...
