Type-cast premises
for promises untold,
assumptions resumed,
underlined in bold -
you,
arrogant,
omniscient,
forever in control -
me,
the shameless whore
put out to perish in the cold.
Sluttish sores
serve as my stigma,
putrid flesh a warning sign -
such acid contagion and terror
at the smugness of your kind.

Phew! This got to me just after reading it once. Love the words you used, like "promises untold,
assumptions resumed," they have a poetic quality all of their own.

Very raw, Bobo, and profoundly affecting, but tightly structured and linguistically precise, if not surgical. Excellent.

Best,

Mike

I absolutely love this piece. Dark, disturbinging and yet somehow a call for tenderness....for pity...for love. Great work,

Michael.

Very powerful, but is this really about agendas, or something deeper, i.e. our core?

Woz - Maybe both...surely the agenda stems from the core...
