The Heart Of A Palm At The Strip-Mall

Missing image
You're a tangy tarantula wasp's revenge
And I am your centerfold pin-up
Donkey all the way into that thick green hunt
Bare-foot, and fever stricken, all the way out.

Will swallow you spice
Will swallow you worm
Will drink you down justice
Will make my thoughts burn,
And not in a bad way,
But in the way of the
Shaman, and that bang,
Not big mind you,
But orange on the
Park-way; My back -
- Pushed hard in a yard's grass.

Who's it is, and why I'm there?
Simple, to sketch your palm
To hang your heart dry
And back away rubbing my hands
Like a content villian
With sanitary wipes,
and five bucks for smokes.

Murdering, and warm breezing
another reason to live.

    And its always lovely to have someone to row the boat, ain't it?

    I shall just stand, here, in the prow - one foot athwart the bulkheads and the other akimbo to the rising stars and affect the George Washington pose - father of our money and Sacred Illuminati Keeper of the Cherry Tree (metaphor for life is the pits).

    And in the end, shopping without money is like eating without food - a waste of energy. To peruse the influx of foreign goods without the abiltiy to buy is to view the world through third world hopeful eyes. Is this what your mother taught you?

    At least she gave you 5 bucks and a warm wash cloth. Scrub that spuna off before you go to the mall.

    I will not shop
    for you
    without money
    on my mind
    but this is life
    on a sunday evening
    when I should take
    classes concerning
    the meditation of
    anything other than you
    and this is where
    everything is confused
    but yet I
    want to see you again
    with the sand
    in my shoes
    and it's here
    I can't shake
    the thought of you.......

    yeppers..... just a jenny rambling... and guess what... me gets points... like a hooker deep in the hunger of money.

    Also the heart of a palm is a southamerican potion and hallucinogenic.
    But I think this poem is about just life in general and the way I observe it,
    yet it's accessible to everyone because we all hate shopping with no money.

    It's part of a collection, if you'll notice, and the answer you're looking for is probably in there somewhere, thank you.

    I read this piece about 5 times and I still don't really get it, maybe I'm a bit dense today. Not to say i dont like it, because a few lines I really liked, but on a whole I'm not sure what is really being said. keep reaching out and keep taking in. Peace, Amber.
