juicy fruit

a rant

 

juicy fruit

 

this world

she chews me up

like juicy fruit gum

 

chewing and chomping

snapping on me

 

blowing me into

bubbles

over and over

 

until I fight back

by covering her

nose and eyelashes

with my stickiness

 

at least that b***h

could floss or chew

a breath mint before

all of my flavor

is lost

 

when she's done with me

she blows me into the

dirty miserable streets

abandoning me to

be walked on by

people's disgusting

feet

 

some high-powered

executive chick

ms. pickwick

carries me home on

her high heeled pumps

 

inside her powder room

she pulls me off with a

kleenex when she

gets home

 

before she discards me

into the  trash can she

happily picks up

clumps of her

yorkie poopsie's

doo doo

with the kleenex

 

great I get to

spend eternity

in the landfill

enveloped

in a kleenex

with dog

s**t squished

next to me

The journey of juicy fruit gum. You really captured it well, but I really don't see why you skip to the next line other than to force a 4 line stanza.
"inside her powder room
she pulls me off with a
kleenex when she
gets home"
That could have been worded a bit differently as:
"when she gets home
her hand holding a kleenex,
she pulls me off
in her powder room"
the ordering of the first one was kind of... awkward. But I really don't know much about poetry. That's just my two cents there :) keep on writing.

A very amusing poem! XD

[light and ashes]

This is a great write. At first I thought it was a metaphor for how you felt. But then got to the end and was pleasantly surprised by the amusing ending. This is how gum feels ha, good stuff.

This is very funny and brought a smile to my face as I read it. It is a great metaphor for what life often does to us a lot of the time. Great job!
