used-tissue pinata.

used-tissue pinata.
by cerebella
this year, tachycardia just means my forsythia is gonna bloom faster than lillian gish portraying a  maharajah in stop motion animation.
whispering out dove feathers in a somber rice-paper delivery. what do i spy?
sunshine stovetop pit
stains heat
waves barcelona’s
sky-ocean reverse symphony and the
one cross-eyed tubist with their
squeaky delivery who hopped on the wrong
flight
frisky delusions of somber turbulence in a
gravity-controlled weightless giant stalking hammerhead aerodynamically displaced with another familiarity
plane
ride
dribbles
like
shark
attack.
there is no fight or flight; this is deathstar. this generates vibes of each to the neighbouring passengers.
the head flight assistants teeth are blindingly white like sun leaks through the one tear in the lampless nighttimes ceiling; i wonder if she sold her body to the captain for this. risk turtle to tunnel vision.
weather collects brief love affairs with dust and mousetraps with ancient swiss cheese.
my musty personalities top-secret suitcase
sometimes breaks
sometimes all day
i
my self
will punch alarms and break my anger-intolerant supermediator’s door down
i
my self
will tear thru the molecular traffic light accumulation even if i try to stand still
sometimes feel
askew when skin skids ripples when
flattopped rocks are skipped against surface
monochromatic pebbles key
chains junk
mail vanilla
extract
snow
and my wobbling muscleless limb of invisible cheap thin wood from a tree killed at age 17, secretly waving pleasing hellos to everyone that passes by. so much potential. so much distortion in the clarity of unreality.
thrifty breadsharer how dare you shake the 99cent store shoplifted snowglobe without permission? snowflakes are my favourite colour. they do not bother seagulls nor beauty lovers nor me.
zits without double-knotted tongue helium bubbles it is new years day at 1200am in my nose from the carbonated sludge from the enchantment spell the billboard placed on me in a big city whose laser beams flash without synchronicity to the thousands of radios in every open window. my laundry serves as my curtains in such a land:
the only purpose of clothes
well the motto goes
if it is cold outside,
don’t
forget
your SMURF-SKIN BLUE jackkkkkkket!
a man is not a piece of laundry. he is a precursor for my population @one generation, a world-swallowing &persevering tempest. surrounded by our protective trenches &underground traveling systems, we fail to man up and look at each other.
baby daughter carried her dream-dna in a doll-sized baby carriage wearing a hood of ratty placenta-art.
i married a dolphin-loving body mod addict with his very own blowhole, so accidentally on a weasel-infested island, fenced in by bongo drum placement.
i need more dna, i thread with half-heart and lion yawns
oops. there goes another
component
peep quietly to edge of the tip-toe-only hallway.
the owl guard will spin his exorcist.
they’re both actors on the lookout for narcs.
reality is uncompromising with my high-maintenance demands.

  1. Vernacular-keen! …Wavy imagination wrapped in bristling intelligence as only a Cerebella can deliver. I saw title first without seeing author and thought almost immediately–‘hmm, sounds like something Cerebella would write’. Sure enough! ‘Used Tissue Pinata’. I’m still wrapping my brain around it but am blown away by the images, ideas, and word use. Excellent work!

  2. yeah? thanks, man! of course i turn to my internet poet friends because anyone from my real life would say ‘stacey your racing thoughts are showing’. like i have to be embarrassed for having an ‘off center’ train of thought. it all has to do with how i was raised and how i seeked out something different.
    i’ve been in a pretty bad state for a few days, LOL, i’ve been drunk and stoned for almost an entire day. i can’t believe how quickly this has passed. but i seriously always appreciate the feedback h&h gives me.

    maybe we should have an H&H slam poetry reading sometime. in a private residence so we can get hella stoned. lol
    btw, this poem was super good… it would take too long to for me to type out all the best parts, but my favorite lines were:
    “i
    my self
    will punch alarms and break my anger-intolerant supermediator’s door down
    i
    my self
    will tear thru the molecular traffic light accumulation even if i try to stand still”

  4. I know I’m pretty behind the times but I just read this and have to say it’s quite good. For some reason the “plane ride dribbles like shark attack” stanza really hit me–though I haven’t quite put my finger on why–maybe it’s the intensity and speed at which it reads, I don’t know (I’ll figure it out soon enough, ha ha). Either way, god damn good poem.
