Smelly Scum Child. (Free verse) by Y2kSlamPoet

[ It appears that this poem was lost in my travel pack. ] [ Unfortunately I found it and just HAD to share it with y'all.] I am prophet disguised as a street urchin deluded ex-yuppie poet cruisin' back alleys & lurchin-- gone stupid & I know it in Portland on heroin & apathetically searchin'. The quintessential joke: A raggedy bearded 'n soiled bum begging for the holy smoke, or at least some change for cheap rum-- Always straight fucking broke. I am the stink moochin off of your soul, taking myself to the brink & fillin up this hole in my vein so I don't have to think-- backin it up with a stiff drink. I am ScumChild, running wild & strange, askin' you for more change-- refusing to, Always.

Slang can not be illiterate. Slang is slang. It is normally used by illiterate people, perhaps. Except I'm not illiterate.

I can read extremely well, and I am quite capable of writing in a formidable fashion. Officially (not that it really means shit, but none-the-less I can't help but mention-) I possess a perfect score of 800 on the writing portion of my GED. The first part entailed editing grammar, spelling, punctuation, and contextual errors; the second part entailed writing a five paragraph essay on whatever subject they happen to give you for that test attempt. Illiterate people can't pull off such a simple feat.

That aside, I am not a junkie. I tried heroin three times while bumming it in Portland, OR. I am the consummate pothead and full moon meth abuser.

Lastly, appeal has absolutely nothing to do with anything you stupid twat. Slang is simply the life and language of the street. If you intend to write a poem about such experiences you damn sure don't write it in a prudish, pompous, and formal Queer Britain fashion. That's for narrating the deeper bow'l soul of tea parties hosted by The League of Tight Puckered Aristocrats.

You foolish little woman... what oh what can breathe back the embers in your collapsed rectum?
