Avoiding Tar and Feathers

Placing one foot in front of another,     tight wire walking lexicon embracing Tactlessly enduring gin sipping trundler. Huckleberry Finn comes to mind,     bare-bottomed asses painted  One big bulls-eye covering so fine    the male exception to subtlety.

If you haven't read Huckleberry Finn, shame on you!

Hi James...do I ever like this little poem. I am a lover of short verse discriptive verse and this is one. It gives me great clear images for sure..LOL..quite a bit of humor in this piece and it makes a strong point..closing your thoughts very well indeed. I love the descriptive first passage of watching ones tongue, at least that is how I took this to mean. Wonderful way with words, "tight wire walking lexicon embracing" great line! "tactlessly enduring gin sipping trundler" I love the connection of the off balance image and the "gin sipping" both a weave of sorts..great little poem, really enjoyed it..thanks for sharing. Nancy

James, You make me want to say "taking it in the --- again" or yep, we are all screwed. You left out the rice paper steps, and heaven help us if we are asked to speak the truth for no one really wants it. Whether the bulls eye is on the touche' or on the forehead, does it not all add up the same, we are an endangered spieces, poetics and all. I especially like: Tactlessly enduring gin sipping trundler, brings so many to mind. Bravo for your candid honesty and your frustration is understood. Lora
