Impromptu
I tried writing a quick poem under five minutes with whatever came to my head first. I was sort-of inspired by Gertrude Stein’s stream-of-consciousness style and Ginsberg’s “first thought, best thought”, although this misses the mark of those poetic prophets.
If it doesn’t burn
You should have no problem
Interrupting erupting embers
With your cold touch,
Shift with clutch,
Don’t take much of such
With a grain of salt… halt.
Give it a break
For time-breach sake,
Don’t make – if you can’t relate
Come back around,
With walls of sound,
Beat to the ground.
Compound and compensate
For what you can’t make;
Two hands will shake
To seal one’s fate.
Ambiguity spawns ingenuity,
Embellished with stupidity
Cuz I don’t have this planed
Man.
Make the consonants crack
By loosening slack
Between word rhythms.
It’s culinary for your soul kitchen.
Often,
It don’t take enough
To pull a diamond from the rough
So either keep pressing on
Or call my bluff.
