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

This was such a fun read, love the metaphor.

This is funny. I love the metaphor here and I was cracking up. Yorkie's poo ha ha loving it. Very creative and yes life can treat us like this a lot.

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

I have to say that this is one of the most off the wall poems I've ever read....but
I cant even explain how much I loved it!!! Your energy and the love you have for life is a blessing to us all. I have to thank you for that.

On another note...we can all identify with this poem because you have laced it with some heavy metaphorical expressions. It's actually quite ingenious.

Seeing life through a piece of gums point of view.... how random =)

I ike this one. Interesting, and odd, at the same time. Made me laugh half way through.

[Becky C Strukamp]

Very entertaining and clever. Very original and so funny. Loved it.

[Linear]

That's going into my favorites, I don't know what you were thinking but the whole idea is both original and hilarious, near made me fall off my chair with that last line.

A bad ending for a piece of gum. A entertaining poem with a interesting story. A excellent poem.
