My Myspace Sexes Yours (Slam Poem)

If sex was a bulletin we'd all be sluts

marking each other's boxes in xyz-

PDQ?

Nah, we don't need to examine,

everyones' pants are down.

looped around ankles as we

trip over our internet connection.

 

But that's okay, we still have foreplay:

 

    Your favorite color?

        Purple.

    Yeah, that's the spot.

    Are you missing anyone?

        Kinda...

   *Moans*, you drive me insane...

 

As questions stimulate answers

and arousal is played out in a game of 20 questions

-or was it 30?-

I begin stroking my ego before you

recorded live on a bulleted webcam.

Myspace never felt so sexy.

 

But we must be careful.

If you don't wear your firewall you might catch something

STD's blistering on the screen

as your laptop goes black from the strain.

But don't worry, Dr. Norton can sort this out,

his anti-virus protection is cheap in this digital age.

 

And after you're all suited up

I'll take you on date

guarenteed to raise your satirical libido

as we spam youtube, and facebook;

My status as your pickup line.

 

I'll leave wall posts,

you'll leave comments

and our union will electrify.

Words like tongues

swapping saliva as we French...

our introductory messages.

 

    Oh lalala, mon cheri.  Je m'appellee Marie.

 

    Enchanté, vous etes magnifique! 

 

But our static lives are far from introduced.

while photos and blogs shake hands 

one can only question the validity of our knowledge.

Who are you really?

And who am I?

 

With a new found paranoia

we quickly depart each other's company

like waking up the next morning after too much wine

and not enough sobriety.

Treading lightly, so as not to wake the other up.

 

As we gather our wits and turn on our respective interfaces

we do not stop to consider

we act

 

    Your favorite color is?

    "I'll take you on date" - I think you're missing "a" between "on" and "date".

    "guarenteed to raise your satirical libido" - "guarenteed" would be "guaranteed".

    Yes, even online we can get crabs.

    A good poem that you have written here.

    LMFAO!!! That is really cool. Good luck.
  • also, when you read this...I hope you read the French part with an extremely exaggerated accent.... I think that would add a perfect touch...thats how I heard it in my head LD
  • BRAVO!

    hahhaha I LOVE LOVE LOVE this! and the French in the middle is so great! It most definitely need to be read aloud...and I can almost hear the tone it should be read it..its so genius...and leave it to you to add some amazing sensuality to it...
    "everyones' pants are down.
    looped around ankles as we
    trip over our internet connection."....great lines you are a master of that, you know....
    "photos and blogs shake hands"...such a great line!
    this poem is amazing, in the truest meaning of the word....not the empty definition it is lately associated with! Applause for you!!
    have you read this aloud yet? I'm sure it would go over brilliantly...I was laughing really loudly as I read this...my roommate was looking at me funny hahaha
    Que bueno my friend, que bueno!

    I really enjoyed the metaphors and similes in this one - obviously they were cool and added a lot to the piece.

    Even though I wasn't even in the first round before I got the boot - I think that since I last read you you've improved very well

    Humourous - yet oddly has a good message. Perfect dosage.

    The Internet has introduced new ways to communicate, both wonderful and devious. I loved the interplay between computerspeak and physical dating, particularly the innuendo of French.
  • That was magnificently written!

    Applaud-Applaud-Applaud!
    That was magnificent!
    I read it outloud and my husband dropped his jaw!
    wow! that was powerful and clever...really contemporary!
    loved it!
    great writing, way to write!

    Wow, that was brilliant. I love the play on words. And the way you intertwined so many of the internet fads to day. Myspace is a lot like sex. LOL. People put the most provocative pictures of themselves online. Me? LOL. I have a picture of me and my husband. Trust me, myspace is not the place to find your soulmate. LOL. Great piece. Very thought provoking. Good luck in the contest. - cgirl0410

    WOW....this is the best write i've read by far. lol

  • Thanks for sending me here Dez (secberm)! This is Slamming!

    No need to explain the form to me. You did the Internet composition of our time poet. Imagine someone reading this poem 10, 20 years from now? There is a well of information posted here, you kicked age knowledge, an echo of "beat" fused into this fine crafting of literary art...

    I give you a huge "true 'dat"!

    I 'd love to hear this flowing from your voice box but I always read poetry aloud so, in a way I already did!

    Love the title!

    I wish you the best in the challenge. It will be stiff, and judged harshly but fairly.

    Much Love ♥

    F'n A, poet. This is fricking impressive and I am not easily impressed. Love the content, what this addresses... Some poets hit by mistake. I'm guessing yours is intentional. For those who don't get it, forget them. Too dense, too selfish, too... Whatever. Excellent. (You just made my day!) Hell of a piece. Write on. One.

  • *joins the fan club*

  • it makes a good point, but honestly my first reaction having finished it was "so what?" while it showed insight into the situation, it just comes off as being written for the hell of it. i mean, where is the significance?
  • Haha, this is definitely different but I surprisingly liked it. I would really like to hear it live, also. I'm sure it'd be a great show Good luck in the contests

    Great Write

    Ha i found this quite hilarious. My favorite part was the stanza with dr. norton in it. I found this to be a well thought out peace. Even before i read your author comment, I found i was visuallizing a guy saying this loud and pronounced. This is definatly one of those poems that can be read outloud and be enjoyed. I love the metaphors in this, if you meant to or not, they are still there. But anyway, great job on this poem i am still giggling about it. Have a great day.
