Mitch Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 [b]word scramble[/b] the words i remembered-- the ones i was gonna tell you-- mess onto the ground, fall all around, and i look down see them scattered all over there see some in pairs, others alone. i?m wondering how i could let them fall like this. must?ve been in my wrist, how i tried to fling them out, and hope i could let you catch em with style. it?s gonna be a while, just a little bit don?t worry about it. they?re all on the ground, it?s true. there?s one right there--i see a u. it?s staring at me and i wonder if it?s kinda blue. it looks kinda sad, i?d say. wonder what happened to make it so. must?ve been this show, the way it kinda kills you. it?s OK, i know you can make it. you?ll get through. and what?s this i see, it?s all over me, many I?s staring over now. they?re all bent, crooked, wretched gnarled and crude. who the hell let it get so nude? it?s like they?re wearing bones and skin?s falling off them. the I?s, i believe, have much to mean. they seem strewn on the floor, bloodless gore, naked, sore. wonder what these I?s looked like before? too bad i can?t find out. they look kinda lost, all point when and where. wonder when they?re gonna find their place? maybe never, maybe someday. maybe it?s not too far. now the letters, all over the floor, they?re coming together, selling themselves to me. it?s like they?re whores. but they?re not--they?re much more. what the letters spell doesn?t cost a thing, it?s the least expensive rose i can give, or the least expensive assassin i can hire. the bullets will penetrate your skull, you?ll expire. the roses will red in bloom, love?s swoon, and hold you close. whatever you want i can give it with these. don?t you ever doubt me when i use these. i can make you fall, in amazement, to your knees. i can make you numb, in indifference, with ease. i can touch you with hands i don?t even have. i can grab you, caress you, seduce you as i please. i can do most anything. and you look kinda blue. i think you need them now. i think i can lift you with them, up as high as you want, pound-by-pound. you don?t weigh much right now. what is it you want? you wanna be on top of a skyscraper? you wanna be down in the ground? you wanna see me inside? i can do it all, just hold your seat, because you?re in for a ride. i?ll take you wherever you wanna glide, or wherever you wanna go. all you gotta do is put my words, all over this floor, together. then we can get going to forever, or to never. i wish i could show you all the letters down here. they?re spelling words i never knew i had, and making things i?ve never seen. this is really the weirdest thing, it?s really the most bizarre. i wonder where you are. i wonder where you are, you falling star. i wanna have that scar. and the letters they are a mess all over, and the stress, and all the things i wanted to say. they fall down on the ground scattered all around, and i wonder what?s here i still haven?t found. so much to see, so much to be, but i?ve gotta go. the words spelled out cold like water in the winter?s spring this is a blue green, this is a red spleen, the heart, it is a wondrous machine. let?s not wilt, for there is much to see. love?s gonna sting, the words into me, and you?ll kiss, your hips, the way it lips, it?ll kill but it?ll spill, don?t let it go, let it show, give it grow, i?ve got something to show. i like the way you walk, i like the words you make me say. let?s find the letters to spell. it?ll go well in this deep well where many night-like waters trickle. can i just give you a tickle? it?s all right, i?m not gonna stab you with a sickle. can i just give you a tickle? it?s in this water, the gloom, where wet, there is set the words, all a mess. we?ll put em together, we?ll coalesce. it?s just a wishing well, don?t get so riled up over it. you don?t have to yell. the words will find it, climb it, and tell. let?s listen i can hear the trickle just the tickle of the words. how wet they make me, how dry they take me. it?s gonna flow, the words?re gonna row to the edge. you like this ledge? then let?s just stand for a while, looking down while it looks back to us. i think this is where it?s best. let?s just be here. the words all over us, nothing to fear. let?s just be here.

vegeta rocker Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Well its been awhile since i have read anything that you have written Mitch, but this one seems a bit diffrent. Maybe its the way you organized it, it seems a bit too long to me though. I just think it could be shorter. It kind of seems like you are experimenting, and i like that.
