Apples of the Earth Unite! by Sam Flot >twentyten

Apples of the earth

Unite in passion and

Without any form of fashion

Circling the block or

Walking the walk

Apples of the earth unite!

No longer will orange be

Both color and fruit

Prancing along in un-rhyme-able portaitures

Naked against the peach sun sky falling

Beyond land charts and potential stagnancies

Apples of the earth unite

In constant depth and contrasting

The sharp fine points with dull, dull, dull and

Folded or printed in honor of

The staple’s place in forming

A piece of the face presented to be un-judged

To be the cover or the skin or

The dirt covering the apples of the earth

United in their underground hideout

Staunchly ignoring the call of the farmer and

The inevitable poking and peeling of skin and

Poking with nails and

Poking with forks and

Covering in butter

As the United Apples of the Earth

Gather in union with salt and butter and hot

Straight out of the oven

APPLES OF THE EARTH UNITE!

(sometimes) I’m a Periodic Element

(sometimes) I’m a Periodic Element

I’m on a periodic table of occasional elements

Made up of matter clattering and cluttering

The path of gravity enabling flotation or skating

Depending on the arrangement of elements

On the table

Assignations given

Atomic numbers called

Clumsy fumblers fall

Collective as discovered to be

All we know

All we see

Sometimes existence is predicted

A new one is added periodically

With indeterminate chronology and

Little else other than random elements

I Will Speak My Mind

I will speak and I will speak my mind! I will lay it down on the stone cold ground and then I will break it down and not directly straight upside your head but ambiguously spread all over the block strategically avoiding graphic depictions of interactions releasing emotions and feelings and physical reactions impulses and jerking knees and arms convulsing and counter-intuitively sending limbs akimbo and meaning will be taken where none was given and meaning will be taken where all was sought and meaning will be made up and conjured and debated and unclear except to the thinking and the knowing and the willing who do not doubt the benefit of speaking and I will speak and I will speak my mind looping my redial and reducing my truncations I will speak and I will speak my mind dripping off the page succinct and without rage summoning inside myself ranting fits of passion unbent from my stride and meant for no fashion I will speak! And I speak my mind in farm fields and coal mines I will you know I will and the only thing I hate is when people tell me what to do so I will not tell you what to do but I will speak loudly and I will speak clearly and I will speak my mind!
