I Might Demolish Every Whisper Ever Rumoured

I Might Demolish Every Whisper Ever Rumoured

A Poem by Chris G. Vaillancourt

Cinderella would dance like a vagrant
around the circled combustion of a
dangling verb, left like sausage
drying in the sun.
I might notice.
I might not.
I might even slip a tongue
over the flip-flop
tabernacle of sham.
"Fuddle-duddle" the legend intoned,
a very many years ago.
With lambent tenacity
the bored princess will
flick a wrist and suppress a yawn.
One and one is two, but two and two
becomes a matter of judgement.
I might care.
I might not.
I might even use a chorus
of disembodied arrogance.
Leasing the flagrant dimness
until it gleams like
an undressed w***e in the snow.
Shoulders back, arms wide,
marching parasites collect like
rabbits getting skinned.
I might attend.
I might not.
I might demolish every 
whisper ever rumoured.

A good bit of Mescal, sets you free, but the weight of it will hide in some corner to trip you when love decides to cast the eye on you.

This is "different" for you. A good kind of different. I enjoyed the imagery and the sarcasm. Well done.

Nice poem, a real thinker.
I think it should be "AN undressed w***e in the snow," but why argue grammar of poetry, I suppose.
Nice job.
