Dripping, Dropping Slams of Under Sized Brands

Dripping, Dropping Slams of Under Sized Brands

A Poem by Chris G. Vaillancourt

Door opens
                  slowly.
Dripping, dropping slams
                  of under sized brands.
Glitter like muscles moving
                         in psychedelic windows.
And they see you at that moment.
Call you at that time.
                             Define and refine you
                              until your movements
                               do not belong to you.
Hating what is unique, they mould
                               the mud that forms you.
Reformation and reclamation. You are
                              the image of the glass bowl
                                   they've ordered you to be.
Slim tender fingers wrapped like
                                                       scars
around your sublime feet.
                                               I am a sheep.
                                               That is, I've
                                                forgotten the
                                                moment of my birth.
And as the cars rumble by, endless cars of
                                                 many descriptions,
                                                 I'm a shadow unto myself.
                                                 I'm a floating zero
                                                 of contrasting
                                                 complexity.
Anchors of yowling animals flatten the
                                                 figurative 
                                                 yelling of the
first time I was conceived.
Door opens
                  slowly.
Dripping, dropping slams
                  of under sized brands.
Be silent.

An attractive and wonderful way of presenting fact, very nice!
Stimulus of words alone claimed my attention, and at the same time
made me informed in an enjoyable way.
