The Mind Mimics the Body

By Cynicism101

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

So, you admit that it's probably the springtime of that dirty back alley of your mind that controls what you like to call primitive mating urges. I love this admission, because it says too much about you; you've obligated yourself to repress the spring blood's dance. No May Day celebration for you. No maidens in white, no men in breeches. Not that the men were ever a part of that image, anyway. And, in my own mind's springtime, I find the maid finds traces of you in quite a few dirty corners and synapses. I have no doubt that this has as little to do with your humour as with my - my lack of focus, perhaps. My assumed role of pagan spring-worshipper. My mother told me to take vitamins, to begin a biochemical war against you and all your cliches that I've adapted and arranged for myself, so they fit that ceili of springtime tulip revelry.I love prose poems; prose poems are my partners in crime. If I were a famous poet, I'd commission myself to right a book of poems examining and reworking a selected collection of cliches. They fascinate me.
