Random Poetry


Riding on the train, no, stopping
For a delay on a single track
Isn’t your idea of staying up late and
We’re stuck in the interim
Without our sleep commodity
What’s left is mutual masturbation
Privacy
Versus random selected company
Is a choice that we can’t make, though it’s obvious
Privacy, you don’t agree?

A form versus testimony of my person
A genre versus idiosyncrasies
Asleep versus arguing group mentalities
A third verse is all you need,
If you won’t recede

Shuffling through No Exit,
Express Yourself, the Very Best
In the nightstand boxes, London Calls no more
I don’t alphabetize,
Prioritize or exercise
I’ll never get used to the knocking at my door
Latency
Your tastes are strongly derivative
You couldn’t be less considerate
Give me back my guitar!

A form versus testimony of my person
A genre versus idiosyncrasies
Asleep versus arguing group mentalities
A third verse is all you need,
If you won’t recede

Wash up
And the fourth line of your chorus
Fades into a minor
For extra effect
But you don’t understand the modernist theories
That if less is more
The shock value decreases over time
There’s no time
I’ll bust a rhyme
But I’m terrified of other people

A form versus testimony of my person
A genre versus idiosyncrasies
Asleep versus arguing group mentalities
A third verse is all you need,
If you won’t recede

If you won’t recede
Then I’ll call you
If you won’t recede
I’ll see you tomorrow
If you won’t recede
We’ll never see the worst of thee
Which just happens to be
The best of me

If you won’t recede
I’ll call, I’ll call
If you won’t recede
I want to see you off that plane
If you won’t recede
I’d transfer at the first convenience
I knew there would be a disagreement
But computers are always wrong
