Nautical Sluice
Whittled, titillated,
demonstrative accolades.
Breaking spades in schools,
flash frying the batter,
lick it faster, see the saw horse whinny.
Double whammy the paddle,
"into the bottle scuttlebutt"
and swim a little harder!
The corporeal ladder
the 'gone but never forgotten,'
I thought then, begat severed head.
Uncle Slaughter, missing driver,
somewhere it shines 'tween hammerhead
spikes, the seaweed soiree,
and muddied sky slice.

I can see how they didn't get it...your metaphors are deep but not obtrusive, I commend your skills

Hullo
quite the ride, it is one for the multiple reads. the words are great, appear random at first but no so. punctuation works very well
good stuff

I'm glad it was an enjoyable ride 😉 thanks for giving my stream of consciousness a chance

This almost reminds me of Aesop Rock, with the seemingly esoteric references of emotion, depicted with a "collage" of language. Going through discourse and direction of questioning morality in the world, this is original, unique, individual, and holds its own. Taunting; established. Specific vocabulary, but very concise. Each line has a lot of meaning. Concrete-hard and compacted metaphors. Transitioning format. There is a lot here. Thank you for sharing!
