Self Roast - The Poetry of Marriage
I like my marriage like my poetry
...creatively whole, with no strictures
so don't stifle my hobbies!
Like, I want the whole idea ugly big
not my chosen golden brick
Tiny and tight only sometimes fits the gig
Like what works for my hottie, short and thick
Big enough to hold the whole
(Whole.... I said!)
But chopped down to only its role
What? You expected more?
Nobody struggles with all
the left out words
Spill the beans!
No rhymy lacing on idea turds
It won't make what it means!
No asking "what did i spend
these five minutes for?"
(Actually, in marriage, more like 15-30)
I admit my poetry happens in fine print
Good marriage is all about the hint
but im trying to put my inner Ezra Pound
On the streets before breakup and rebound!
Yes, into the past where
he and his feather belong
My man is here now
He bought me a thong!
while respecting what his-story offers
the spoiled victors like their
marriage partners
like modern poetry
clear healing, short and dirty
I want beginnings reflecting
the title and end
(who doesn't like mirrors?)
without deflation of discovery
(Whoops!)
and meaningful tension
(like who's doing the laundry)
Ugly says plot
(Eventually free...)
emotion
or emo-ocean!
the real
plastic Flowrs
complete with
dust and cobwebs!
Ugly is music
(No, not that crappy song... the other one!)
with strong pulse
like my husband explains the hundredth time!
compelling appeal
...like his smolder
Don't hide your wrinkles
Unless plumping them
Don't color your grey
Honest merchandise, please!
Don't keep your inner fool
(Ummm actually.... do)
so far at bay
(Pull the anchor!)
Don't let noble ego
go
ruin the show
...of course!
