The Pipe Scraping Tool (Free verse) by peaceseeker
why do you read me,
for the purpose of insulting?
maybe I love the insomnia
the suspense after you leave
will I ever see you again?
choosing a little girl
ten years younger over me
not surprising except you
already made your little bed
in my back hallway
at least you put it away
after refusing to lay in it
behind my locked back door
before your narcissistic cop out
after questions exposed
what isn't mine maybe I love
your insanity and maybe I hate
your inability to let go
of deathly wishes.
maybe I love my ability
to hold onto my inner thighs.
maybe I hate my inability
to stop frequenting Java Net
the epitome of hell where
I asked for organic coffee and
all I got was a wretched scene
my internet date from hell
listening from his observation stool
while his buddy berated me with
"that's a really loaded question"
refusing to answer my question
ignoring my pleas to give me
organic, or not, or not certified
since he was suggesting there was
uncertified organic coffee brewed
but refusing to pour me some.
just give me a large coffee asshole
a large percentage of it
spilled and burned my hand
my internet date from hell
saw my pain and smiled
could never love a man like him
a man who refuses to dance.
word up sister, love all sisters
forgive me, I can not love you
a man-boy who hates to be loved
cringes when breathed upon.
very possibly, you are really gay
but I'll tell you what I'll miss
the feeling of not being able to
stop laughing over nothing and
everything all at the same time
the type of laughter that chokes
tears streaming like chopping an onion
bodily control all but lost in bursts
well, I guess it is relatively ironic
that incense is non-toxic
and the other end of the stick
is a perfect pipe scraping tool
which is a perfect name for you
"a pipe scraping tool"
(now I feel better about myself).
