poem things to do with talking dictionaries ... #NaPoWriMo2018 Day 8

loquacious tomes, 
poets and stiff definitions: 
not such great partners 
sometimes 


we handle them 
their sexy implements 
their dead smell words 
we breathe into them 
blend them ends margins 
middles and slide lovelies
we wee them 
a bent well dug doggie style 
hoo hoo who knew blue bayou 
crystal gayle linda ronstadt 
with all that jazz and hands full of hair 
leggings, moon boots, lovers and those times too 
I couldn't stop thinking of her as mama 
and the drama she lens-ed 
for later, looking 
for certainty 
with my cock 
in her mouth, looking 
for words, 
for their return ... 

how well we spend spell sell send dogs to god lounges 
summer suns slow blinking in the wee hots 
tilts lilts late morning June 
bug sequencing DNA like dream bits 
breath bread ties twisted together 
in some sort of prince to princess rescue rope 
the future 
hangs limbs 
that never made it 
in a world 
we knew to skew views for 
power and providence 
science as seducer 
simple physics 
Tesla serenades 
wireless bombastic 
manufactured madness 
each fit with retro alimentary exits 
these glass egg chemical agents 
of discovery held death inside 
yolk colors, so appealing 
we made their grindhouses 
full of spittle 
and viddles 
tender fleshes 
into temple thresh 
holds and sacred places ...

and any day to come 
was a prophecy of hindsight 
any day carrying hope in code 
was like that 
a fat lady sung 
wanting to know 
that feeling something 
feeling anything 
was being human 
instead of 
what is 
undone ...
