Miscellaneous poems from miscellaneous times
I just have one poem here right now, so i'm skipping the whole description thing, for the time being
“Butchers and Erosion” (Fall 2024)
[White noise kind of drown me out,,,]
I'm aiming at veracity
I'm trying to speak the,,
truth
And of course there's obfuscation
And of course there's obfuscation
And of course there's obfuscation
When I'm trying to speak my,,
truth
It's like the words just fall a,,
way
Tired of passive aggressive
Tired of feigning interest
Tired of sarcasm
Tired of the,,
truth
I inherit
This language
It says it speaks
It says it speaks the,,
truth
But when I stop and stare that way,
It just all begins to sway
It says, "I'm trying to find the,,
truth"
Truth and imperfection
Truth and imperfection
Truth and imperfection
Truth and the,,
truth
Signifiers signifying
Signifiers signifying
They say that they're signifying
I'm waiting for a,,
sign
Speaking that language
Speaking a language that's
Trying to speak about,,
me
Grammar rules try to choke me out
Emails and no complaining
It's all formal and inhumanely
It's all formal and it's,,
dumb
And now I try to learn to speak
While I practice biting
My own,,
tongue
If my words betray me,
What have I become
When my words betrayed me,
What did I be,,
come
Was it betrayal or maybe something--
Was I butcher or maybe something--
And so my body e,,
rodes
I am erosion,
I act out erosion,
As I butcher this world
As I butcher these,,
words
Irregardlessly
Importune to me
Make me,,
numb
I try to cry out
But I don't even know my name
And when I try to speak
My words don't mean
What they think they oughtta
What they think they,,
do
It's the butcher:
erosion
Me and
you.
