back in business

Post by constantine » April 14th, 2010, 7:09 pm

i'm back in business
you thought i was out
but i'm back - baby!
get used to it, get over it
get the hell out of it!
that's my motto, or is it a credo?
no difference! why split hairs?
a tedious process that gets you nowhere fast
unless, of course
that is what you truly desire to do
in which case, by all means
knock yourself out
i won't stop you, hell
i may even help
but, if you're really serious
permit me to suggest
a more pleasurable form of human endeavor
mutual stimulation of genital areas
can be quite pleasing and has stood the test of time immemorial
i'm not talking that homo-erotic mandalayan shit
i'm talking inter-sexual conibulations
judiciously applied
sophisto stuff - like pantyhose
and boots of corinthian leather
only more physical in a biological sense
these are matters seldom discussed
but always inferred or deduced
i can't remember the difference
but that's besides the point
we are not discussing socrates or aristotle
this is reality, not some philosophical construct

That's right, you tell em. mr., they should go to bed with their stockings on sometimes, and do laundry in them, dishes and everything in between.

little mischievous darling!

i merely suggest a possible course of action, or rather the narrator does - i've transcended my desire for conibulation.

Not sure what a conibulation is. I'll go to check it out.

I like that last line a lot.

This is reality

yeah, that line opens it up a bit - it would be sort of a different poem without it.

Corinth, having neither a tanning industry nor cattle, how do you "infer or deduce" it comes by all that leather to boot?

corinthian leather was employed as a linguistic cachet, first by chrysler and then by me.
