monkey of the mind

chaos in the perfect world  is
 the dick - held monkey of the mind
doubt walking reluctant on a leash

 a  lathered up morning spit
holds the  razor to the   faceless mirror 
 questioning motives that are dieing to live

i  squeeze out the cluttered   reasoning
from the wrong side of the tube

smacked in the bloody cold of truth
in  splashed up facefuls
 crashing  into that neat perspective
of a corporate suit and tie
 
masturbating  into a car commercial
 the life of junk yards is red
wearing  the monkey like an  iron stain
rust in a  toilet bowl ring
around the finger
of a rodeo drive pop sucked

a six pack of empty cans
under the bed collects bones
a gargled breath and false teeth
grind out false dreams behind the curtain
 
the animal   dances on butter today
I make you in an unmade bed
my breath feeds the baboon 
chicken wings and sex
 scratching  your back to the black fingernails of
greased up  monkeys

I buck you like a movie star
in neat cinema shots and angles
far away ecstasies on  Gilligan's  island
where monkeys jack into  cameo bars
and I autograph your lips
with something fashionable

Push it at your own risk

Push it at your own risk fool, if you like the isolation. Keep it neat, and sweet and you might get a treat. Always write your heart, and ocasionally it's in your pants. B

The poem rages in a negative

The poem rages in a negative sense thats part of the life experience that lies hidden in the animal parts of our needs. The point of the poem is to shock us into awareness of our monkey selves we harness into a strained order of ambiguities we deny within ourselves

This is one of those smack

This is one of those smack you in the face with realism and test the boundries of the poetic form. Not my cup of tea in general, but expressive of a powerful style in poetry. Not for everybody. Thank you Jayne. B
