Dominoes (How Closed an Open Mind Can Be)

Stand in line. Fall in line.

Care not what truth the fun house mirror brings.

Reflected symmetry preferred.

Like in like. Muck in muck.

Proffered lips.

Poetry fuck.

Sycophant flirtation and an ego infestation.

Mired in self absorption.

Pay no heed to pitied(ful) minds.

Wasteland repetition.

Amusing if not so sad.

Put on a show. Ringmaster be.

Masturbate so eloquently.

Stand in the center ring. Under revelation lights.

Nothing real. A Hollow man's performance.

Laughter bought. Soulless enjoyment.

Enjoy the paid crowds adoration.

{insert smug sarcasm} snickering laughter {insert smug sarcasm}

...dominoes...

You have a great talent in making statements and word phrases that are complete and yet weave together with the rest of the poem. This was powerful filled with great lines... many already said. Well done!

Revelations, epiphany, what is real? Wasteland repetitions like the dominoes...follow the leader all the way down...

oooh...very powerful. "Put on a show. Ringmaster be. / Masturbate so eloquently." - this is excellently done; and we all fall down..."Poetry fuck" indeed; subtly acerbic and of consistent high quality; outstanding.
