Oh, Tarnation!

by Adam 005 - Gemini

OH, TARNATION!

The bile at the corners of 
your mouth is very insatiable, 
what with all fruit flavors in 
it keeping me frostbitten

Oh, Tarnation,
I have to be cool
or you'll just want
to hold my hand in a way
that suggests we never
started out sprinkler kids
but down in bed 
like it's all we've ever done

And, in fact, it is
all we've ever done

That baggage
you're carrying around
is three quarters your
body weight

Reason for writing:

    poetry written by young people today is usually saucy and melodramatic to the point of nausea so i thought id 
"bum rush the show" a lil as they say and shock the system a lil too so i hope the controversy of this poem
merely being different does not distract the reader from juicing whatever meaning they wish to juice from it
and enjoying it for what it is           paz
