Cheating

One Way Mule - Silverchair

Cheating, because I wrote this ages ago for a WRT class. I like it. I post it. It counts.

The shape doesn't hold as well after copying and pasting, so where there's a slash in between words, it counts as a new sentence. Can be read vertically as two poems and horizontally as one.

But / Hold

This / Fast

Was not / from you

A normal / sensation

Brownie plate to eat / destroys your sanctum

Beware the spaces that dissolve / temporal highs invented kind

Deep into the lines buried in the sands of the mind / stay aware in your here and now grounded to the earth

Leaking like a brown faucet into a brewing cup that storms and swirls in time and space / suffer an escape if you wish into transient facades that will fade away soon

Numbers and symbols attack the senses as you munch / until you can eat no more, think no more, feel no more

Upon the gooey chocolate / faking control of your mind body

Feed your appetite / kill your appetite

Devoid / or lose

Of / your

Feel / self
