Mentally Disabled (Free verse) by drnick

Analog to digital will you bring me my pipe? Slithering on the surface of what seems to be right Shadows sneak like serpents in barbarian's babble Now you find the truth you took soon to be unraveled Sniper sights hit teddy bears resulting snowy scene Anybody have a clue of what this all could mean? Diaphragms and diapers find their way into the trash The world is getting acne according to recent photographs My baby battled blisters and popped each every one Its time for trees and turtles to inherit trust funds You know not where I'm going no idea of where she's been Traveled thru a maze and found I started at the end.

I wanted to write something that made very little sense. In part to show how easy it is(at least for me) to get caught up in literary devices and rhyming schemes and loose all meaning. The first line alludes to that(in music, some say you loose something in the transition from analog to digital). The other part, if it works right, is to show that if you look too closely at anything you'll find it more complex than it really is. The last two lines refer to that. When I wrote this I imagined that more intelligent people would be confused and angry over the nonsense it feeds you, while the "mentally disabled" would enjoy it for its simple pleasures. Jesus, I'm writing a novel about what this thing means...let me sum it up:

This is here to fuck with you.
