Twister

I hope I step on every sidewalk crack I encounter
I'll pace up and down with my dawn to dusk saunter
And until I feel like my whole life is cursed
I'll strive for the enlightenment of becoming well versed
In a culture where speaking simply leads to adjourning
And no one drinks a glass of orange juice in the morning
Where love is a picture frame that contains what is lost
To maintain what once was without expending exhaust
I hope to wrap myself in a dirt straight jacket
My own little version of an above ground casket
And when my heart dies from inhaling dirt into its lungs
I'll fall inside forever until forever falls expunged
Twister twister take a look around
Twister twister we all fall down
Twister twister don't touch the ground
Twister twister I'm in the lost and found
Twister twister my pseudonym
Twister twister my one and only friend
Twister
Twister
twister
writing is....

Very interesting :nod: I've been having a quick peek through your gallery, and I think this is one of my preferred poems. It's got a very definite rhythm and flow to it, very smoothly written.

"pseudonym"...hmm, a new word for me to look up!

A great write, the repetition of "twister" at the end makes it seem almost lyrical. I love it :)
