Poems - dead weight

dead weight

by delapruch

the pouring of compliments
as transparent as cellophane
stacking upon the shoulders &
the attempt to get inside by this
perpetrator seems relentless.

reminiscent of others
whose sole purpose is to
drain all individuality &
deprive of all positivity---
squeezing it all out like
powerful hands wringing a
paper towel
as if to prove to the occupants of
a lavatory that
said master of the universe
has just made a
tinkle.

digging & digging
as if the very doing so will stimulate a
an otherwise barricaded self to
suddenly gush with sentiment
wherein all intimate details of a life
will become apparent to an
interest which only sprung from
complete utter boredom with existence &
the need to prove to themselves that
all share the same bitterness in
life.

ever so curious
wanting to interfere with the reality of
all present---
cats that meow & meow & meow
hoping to bring down all those
around them---
but, these felines hate the water
so find a bridge & the deepest river, pond, lake or
ocean &
push them right in---
as they thrash in the water
quite possibly,
all the dead weight might
just take them
d

& as the wonderful water fills the lungs
they will meow no more.
