"Spin World, Don't Stop, Just Keep Spinning" a Poem by Dalton Johnson
SPIN WORLD, DON’T STOP, JUST KEEP SPINNING
Spinning in circles, daily. Spinning around the sun, yearly makes me a little dizzy. Like a drunk,
I stumble around, barely able
to hold back the puke which
this vortex wishes to toss. The spins
thrust thoughts from one side of my hollow head
Into the other
I don’t know if my head can think.
The phalli and clits, together, rule this land of “the free”, but The free from what?
Love,
emotion, self-expression?
It’s time for sexy abs because swim suit season is around the corner.
What happened to the snow bunny or
The sunny Florida coastline?
Why couldn’t we be proud year round? 365.25 days of spinning in circles around the sun, gets me a little dizzy,
I don’t know if my head can think.
