...Tasteful.
By no means
in credence to doubt;
You are the hollow
of the sternum
succeeding puking
& the float
of feeling
(or lack...)
or the feeling of lack
clacking & clicking,
then cracking
when ribs stick
& pinch
like grinchy
crunchy,
gangling
fingers;
Tangling inward
reaching...stretching...
too deep
too fucking far by...
'bout 1/4 inch;
The catching hitching
& retching
when there's just
empty
empty hacking
to gag back,
to defy yaking;
You're that.

The 3rd 4th and 5th lines are great
"hollow
of the sternum
succeeding puking "
i could possibly see you dragging this person behind your car down the highway
with all the crunching,tangling,clicking
the 21st & 22nd line you got specific with your dislike
"too fucking far by...
'bout 1/4 inch; " - i assume this person was close to you at some point if they envoked these gut wrenching feelings, then again sometimes we can feel this way about ourselves.
the 9th line
"the feeling of lack" - corresponds with this to me and i reflect on my teenage self
the 30th line
"You're that." - deals the final blow to the victim in our mind weather it be family, lover, acquaintance, or ourselves.
well penned

Thank you man! How I'd love to drag this person...through the Washington mud and sticks.
Now I'm wondering what about your teenage self you're reflecting upon😆

Definitely wish I would have stuck with writing much more in 9th grade than let it take a back seat like I did.

I am probably WAY off, but the poem spoke to an eating disorder, and then it seemed to either speak to the results of the eating disorder, or equated a person to it. Either way, or another way, this was incredibly raw and honest. Kudos.

Ahhh! Thank you :) I like that interpretation. That's twice in about a week that I've had eating disorders come up, I've never personally struggled with them though. It's just a vomitous reaction I have to someone. I didn't really even edit this, it just came out, it's one of "those" poems haha!

I'm in awe of your stream of words - carpenter of language creating your semantic landscape. Will not comment on content - speaks for itself. Rob.

Can't argue with that. Some people out there probably feel this way about me, admittedly.
