A new poem

The Miserable Onslaught of the Vernacular

or

“Something to Chew On”

by David McFarlane

The glue of Nowhere in your pasture of milk,

and into the valley of stones, where a thrown away glimmer is:

the hiss of broken footsteps, having oak smoke brimming from the nose,

choking and then spitting from the lack thereof, of air,

and now stepping into the sea, wherein the sun will wake

the eyes from the slumber of vision, and bleach the horizon

whites of yolk, yellow of smoke,

in pidgin droppings, maligned by porous entities whose invasions of debris

are the food of thought.

Pig! pig! pose! in arrays of a nexus; swim with the plexus of ocean flexes,

The solar elixir of moon and waters, with river daughters brimming over

with odes to soil and soldiers of past manias...

The torrent is a turbulent tremor in the groundwork of glacial destructions,

where icy hinges are botched and numbered by innumerable sentinels of rock,

as the deep core of stink and heat is puckering up to ruckus! Ruckus!

Without a hope of articulates,

a scent of wanting,

or a gleeful cheer cheer cheer,

The onward march of idiocy is the king-shit of movement,

As movement is idiocy itself.

Crumble and joint cracking,

piss and jingle-wiggle,

The brook is cackle and jumble,

with slender flows of ice and tinkle twinkle,

as little notes of break-up want to sound out to no one.

Mobile onslaught of derivative toil is the new mechanics,

And without whimper or banter, the mobility will shun the possible.

infinite notions will depart and the everward stench of the imaginary

can reign in a glorious, effervescent panic of panoramic excess.

Bloating and stammering, the malignant tremulous will arise,

to the satiety of flesh, and beyond,

with a finality of devices conjured to inflict sombre sombreros

upon the weeping heads of the frail magicians of space:

Hocus, Mucous, Pocus:

“Pickled piss, and suckled mess,

a fractured bastion of miserable distress!”

“All muddy and all frail!,

all toil and all hail!,

all burden and all pale!,

all rotten and all stale!”
