Leigh said she's going to put this in her fridge

[notmeisme]

so I figured I'd put it here, so Leigh's fridge and my live journal could someday make out. Containers are fun.

Broken Teeth

represent the feeling of helplessness for the dreamer

I woke up a little

with my mouth

full of broken teeth

and kept chewing

the pieces I planted in the fields and from them grew legs and arms

I woke up a little more

this reminds me of the reoccurring dream I have about losing my teeth. However- I hear that has much to do with accepting the fact that you have no control over the shit that is happening to you. Going on that idea, it makes for an interesting concept in this poem- even if that's not what you intended at all. However, I thoroughly enjoy the form of this poem.

how do you know what I "intended at all?" ;-) I think that was part of it, and yeah the form is somewhat mine/ the increase of a verb form is Vasko Popa, who is the guy I steal the most from;-), and his poems are full of cool forms like this. I'd like to do more like this in the future, it's like keep madlibbing the form until something comes out of it. I've tried to write so many broken teeth dream poems. I hate in the dreams when I chew through other teeth, but then I wake up and I'm back to the way I was.

ps-you better finish that book or at least send me one or two poems from it or write a poem. These are your options Miss McDaniel.
