Fucking turnips
Thinking about the sun
made me think about you.
Which is sort of silly to say
because everything,
except maybe turnips
makes me think about you,
and that's only because I never
asked if you hate turnips...
and now...
(fuck)
(just fuck)
Now, even turnips make my eyes fade out,
and my hand shake
while my tongue
moistens my lips
in subliminal
self
emulation.
(This is why I need to fuck
as soon as you walk in the room.)
This is why I'll never remember to
ask you about turnips.

There it is again. Your trade mark 'attitude' all over this simple little piece. Apart from a (fairly subtle) double entendre about doing something indecent with a root vegetable there's not a lot going on - just a keen sense of the writer's personality, one which I seem to like. I wondered if there should be a 'you' at the end of the third last line? I had to re-read it to see that it makes perfect sense as it is - but does leave the door open for a misunderstanding about how many people and who are to be involved in celebrating your lover's arrival. Maybe that's just my twisted mind! Anyways, it's very minor quibble. This is yet another hit as far as I'm concerned. Red

Attitude? Moi? Noooo.
Sometimes a message doesn't have something to look at. Sometimes it's just a string of words inlaid on the brain, Red.
(Can you think of anything less sexy, more mundane, and more effortlessly known to someone close to you, than a like or dislike of turnips?)
You continue to kick ass, sir. Thanks for the nice words.
(Do you know how overused 'quibble' is on this site? Don't be ordinary man. Next time say "Bitch, I think this shit is wrong." )
(Um, but I might rip off your face if you say that.)

Just a little note to say that the self-emulating moistened lips are a nice, and at the same time, clever image.

Thanks Bragg.
I really enjoyed putting that in with something as lame as turnips. Glad you thought it clever.

Thanks 7. That's sort of what I was thinking... why the hell not?!

Sharp and distracting. A wonderful sum up of how the oddities eventually fall prey to the way the mind trips us up, or maybe I'm looking too deeply. This works well... Very well.

Genius!! And great fun. Backed away from any deeper message in order to hang on to the initial eyebrow raise, cheers :-)
