you
mirror your own
reflection
fragments of broken
stained glass
not from any cathedral
a cheap collection
of recycled plastic
pieces
a broken child’s toy
seeing in an
other
what you deny
so readily in your
self
so quick to believe
you have it right
under your thumb
but look again
it’s only in
your mouth.

And on and on and
on he droned—
as if he thought
and was sure that
we felt and knew
he was the king.
As if he was confident that
we recognized
in him
some royal sense
of magisterial magnitude.
And perhaps some did
fall down and worship
at his
pompous
imperious
plumage.
But they only wanted to be
lulled by
another dull edge.

You know, you guys have so much vision. Have you considered working together?

she cried
so I can have
flatulence
that equals
your wisdom.

Darkness,
Darkness,
In the darkness
Of my shed.
I wait.
Waiting.
Waiting.
Painting.
Painting.
My miniature figures
are a well-painted army.
Their sabres gleam.
They have two coats of humbrol.
I shall teach them.
My beautiful girlfriend
Supports me.
She has two coats of humbrol.
My best friend
Supports me.
He has two coats of humbrol.
IcDU stand at my back.
Their sabres gleam.
They have two coats of humbrol.
You will all be sorry.

(A quick note for new members - this thread has been started, I think, by Modzero, one of our less dangerous trolls, who nonetheless hangs around here pretty much on sufferance and should probably not draw too much attention to himself. He believes that Barbelith is badly run, and would be far better run if he were allowed to define its functionality, moderation and so on, and if nobody ever disagreed with him about anything. When this failed to happen last time, and he was kicked off for a series of harrassing and trolling activities, he registered about half a dozen suits, who turned up claiming to be casual acquaintances of his who just happened to wake up that day minded to start threads about how badly this guy that they didn't know very well had been treated, not that they had really followed it at all. At about the same time his apparently non-imaginary friend attempted to start a sort of pressure group of illuminati within Barbelith called IcDU, to bring about a shinier tomorrow.

This is not therefore so much poetry as a continuation of a long-standing vendetta, which is why it is not getting the friendly safe space reaction one might expect in the Creation. Mod may also believe that he is casting a sort of magical charm by doing this, but that's outside my remit.)
