Stop the start

The satisfaction of using a chainsaw is pretty awesome.  Something about watching the wood eviscerate is just really fascinating.  I don't know if there is anything else like that.... If you think of something please post and let me know.  I really like that feeling.  I think I might go grate all the cheese in the house as it is too late to fire up ole' chainy.  Good night.

STOP THE START

Tilling the soil
Has left me ill.
A gray, inflamed, annoyance.

This face was drawn
By familiar fingers,
Characteristics created
By disdain for dirt.

A hungering to end the blame game.

Key in your belly,
Swallowed long ago
Like some ignorant guard
Of some fairy-tale beast.

Sad prisoner
Knows nothing
Of your language,
Terribly confused
By a seemingly odd choice in diet.

Buried truth and caged bird
Sing softly at once.

  1. i reaaaaalllly like the first two stanzas in this one, Steve! Good rhythm wrapped up in some stanky oddness, it's the next club banger.
