A penny for your thoughts.

turbulence in the thinking region
schizophrenia.
Are you a hard hog
from the farmer's country?
Did you rape your daughter?
Did her mother think of her
when confronted with YOUR bill?
Did you say? Damn country bumkin!
Yes I did and
I am,
not delivered from prosperity,
but delivered unto prosperity.
Thank the Lord!
Landlord, oh!no!
Tenant,
oh yes!
Invalid.
With a pension.
Invalid in mind and soul and with gammy knees
and no driver's license.
slave
slave
country bumkin. . .
don't let me say it out loud
because my ideals mean too much to me.
I will not compromise.
I want peace
and you want a piece of the pie
you can have a piece because it is as
easy as pie
not to lie
damn it
my soul got raped

It's interesting coming back to the start having first read your recent ones. The newer ones are certainly more fluid and coherent than this, but it's precisely that sparky flip/flop between sinister and comedic/absurd that I like here.

Gee this is nice you reading some of my older stuff. I really had to get a lot out of my system then- well I still do but you are right it is a different style- I guess I have changed a bit since then- more than a year ago. ;D I think, I know that I am much more at ease now. This was really a terible story about a girl getting raped by her father and having a child. My god I was so shocked by meeting her in real life. She was the same age as me. Oh dear.
well thanks for taking a peek
