"the 'e' poem"

for seana

as seen in "triumphantly single"

 

" you talking about motions or e'motions?" she asks

cause there is a world of difference you know

take this "love" you keep chattering on about

for example

I know a girly who when you say love,

she thinks: lips, finger tips eventually hips –

but gods help them if they get there grips on me

see, she is always the "love-me-not" daisy head

and that's the way she likes it. but she'll say she loves you

and she'll do it in all honesty, due to syntactical bullshit reasoning,

due to "physically it is true!"

motions baby, you have to clarify things

and you know it might not be that bad

missing a letter, you get used to the hollow spot

'cause it is the 'e' that gets you in trouble:

-ecstasy, everything, eventually, empty,-

or worse yet:

-evolving, engulfing, encompassing, embryos,-

oh no see with out the 'e'

it's just motions movements in the middle of the night,

easily explainable logical reasoning still obtainable

but on 'e' your brain emphasis

"do you like the name emily or ean how 'bout ellaura,"

no thought of ecosystems or economics

no thought to the fact that world is over populated and you are flat broke

and just had too much to smoke . . .

so next time they mention

"love" ask 'um" are you talking about motions or e'motions?"
