Analysis of Ordered discord



Smeared In a pattern.
This Rorschach abstraction.
Flowing like satin.
In cascading fashion.

Symmetry, mimicry.
Mirroring the mind.
Coddling, throttling.
Either or is fine.

Full to bursting.
Ache encephalitis.
In many minds of how this building
pressure will ignite us.

"Ticky tacky" tinderboxes.
Longing for the flame.
Effigies of rememberance.
Not all burn the same.

The beauty of the sanguine bloom, detonator primed.
T-minus the countdown.
Get on with the ride.

Functional, nominal.
Broken by design.
Apathy, empathy.
Whatever's left is mine.

In written depiction.
This Incessant chatter.
An empty inscription.
For a mindless matter.

For years he lived in a secret government facility. One day they found him and were like "what the fuck are you doing here?", and they shot him. Now he wanders the earth as a ghost, a poet ghost (not a ghost writer, he's way cooler than that). For some reason he can wear hats but if he walks through a wall or something (not like tables or small stuff) the hat falls off. He's lost a lot of nice hats. more…
