Utopia
Word perfect
user friendly
anonymity necessary
place of origin optional
mind blank but teeming
angry bored cynical
hysterical
oinking
lone & lorn but
liking it that way
needing it
normal is mutation
is hybrid
is alien
is porcine
to need to steal to spend
scattering bags of mixt nutz
out among squirrels
pearl-scatterings and hoggophoria
lusting hustling scamming
huh? who?
be-gluttoned pigging
beating off
at the end of feckless quests
damned to only three professions:
assassination
thievery
rapine
not forgetting also to bask
(O' yes-- and also oink)
oink.
Author notes
The scarcity of punctuation is deliberate. I believe it helps to move the poem along in an intended free-flow, using line breaks and line widths to serve in place of punctuation marks.
