Reality TV World Message Board Forums
PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats, but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are encouraged to read the complete guidelines. As entertainment critic Roger Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"WSC2(FV) Free Man"
Free Man


Through the window, my possessions fall
Landing with a “boom”, “clang” or “slam”
But I take a quick liking
To the satisfying bark of "shatter"

And they build in the alley; my alley,
My ravine
Into a pile, then a mound
Then a ladder

Out the window and down
Toes in toaster slots
And fingers in fish tanks
To the bottom

From the street, I look back to the heap
A poet’s wet dream
Equal parts bleakness,
Opportunity, and shit

Each begging for a metaphor,
A description,
At the very least recognition
Or just one adjective

The pile as a whole does, too
You can see it in the sway
It seeks more --
Deification, perchance

I turn and walk,
A free man now
Without the time or talent
Or patience for such things


Superman - thanks sami

Oh, the agony...to deny it...


Very powerful, Supes. Too bad we're not ever really free of it.

Until Alzheimers, that is!!

Superman, well written piece!

Metaphoric cleansing of excess baggage?

Wow, very powerful. Really like this part:

But I take a quick liking

Oh the anguish! I don't know why but I really wanted a ciggie after reading this and I quit smoking two years ago. Great work Supes!

Very agonized, Supes. I really like it, especially this part:

From the street, I look back to the heap
A poet’s wet dream
Equal parts bleakness,
Opportunity, and #####

Thank you for sharing this with us.

Edited to say-very clever, Supes. At first I couldn't understand why that word showed up in your poem, but not when I copied it. Now I get it. Doh!
