Poetry is not
words
pushed from the mouth
like a race
to orgasm.
Poetry
is the sound of the mind
stripping its gears, measured
by the opening
and closing
of a cranial trap door.
Or,
a single drop
of blood
in an ocean of pomegranate juice
(the refined palette
tastes the salt) --
Who knew words
were heavier
than air?
I usually avoid metapoetry but here it is in pure stream of consciousness as it is meant to be.

Do your worst.

Interesting concept. I like the beginning a whole lot. The comparison of producing poetry to producing orgasmic noises is cool.
They layout for me is no my favorite type of poetic layout. A little jarring.
Overall, good work :)
