Swallow me whole
Beat the pain from my brain
Get rid of the infestation
The joyless lot of indigenous malignant grotesqueries
They pester me
They burrow into my cerebral cortex
Plant themselves and putrify my mind
I want to be known as the one shattered their dreams
This sting, it causes fixation
It brings about agitation
Can I be more than human
Or am I just vegetation
I want to smell the sweet pungent pithy aroma of nothingness
I want to know who pulls the strings
I want to know how to make it stop
How to kill the music box
The song it plays only rots
In my brain
And I need to know
When will it stop

Author's description Self-doubt
Comments Lady GRITS, 26 June 2005: Oh, this is horrible to say, but this poem reminds me of some I’ve heard ’Data’ recite! Clever! But unlike Data, there is feeling in those words. ’Ode to Spot’ doesn’t have any feelings! :-)
Great job! (synicism is my husband’s main job! ;-) good night, all!
Scot Savage, 21 June 2005: If there’s an oscar category for synicism, you’d be a shoe-in.
Ernest Muller, 20 June 2005: Very good...I am hip to the underlaying synicism in this piece.
Being the Macob’ster that I am, I like it! I do...Very good!
Tomás Ó Cárthaigh, 20 June 2005: ding a ling, ding dong... ding a ling, ding dong... ding a ling, ding dong... ding a ling, ding dong... ding a ling, ding dong... ding a ling, ding dong... ding a ling, ding dong... ding a ling, ding dong... ding a ling, ding dong... ding a ling, ding dong... I get what you mean...
