Almost There

Post by saw » July 22nd, 2008, 9:47 am

I need a booster shot,
an ethereal hypodermic needle
about nine inches long
loaded with wonder drugs,
brain balms, sexy stimulants,
anthropoid analgesics,
hands-on hypnotics injected
simultaneously in a big WHooooooSH
into each temple
so the metal tips cross
like therapeutic swords of wonder
in my lethargic skull.

I need a Bufford Pusser-type person
to hit me good with a 46 inch
Louisville Slugger lightning quick
like I'm some kinda hobo pinata,
Knock some Fucking sense in to me,
'cause the regular sense won't be enough
this time, neither will the mid-grade
Sentrum Silver, No, I need the high-test
Shit tonight that only comes from knocking
"Fucking" Sense.

I need someone to turn on the light
that doesn't merely shed itself around the room
making silly shadows, no I need the Light
that orders renegade sparks on a mission to hell,
mission fucking impossible.....to wake up
a familiar comatose citizen, paralyzed
by his own lack of imagination, and I'm

Almost there ....
Just need a little push.

ok, here's the push you need:

I think this is a FUCKING GREAT POEM

wonderfully tortured sensibility and sweet lingo

let me read it again, I need a booster shot already
