schizophasia


[ Shakespeare / love ]

Why does a pilot stray
opposite Shakespeare?
Why can't Shakespeare egg
love?
Love entertains
Shakespeare.
Shakespeare chooses
my brigade
around a vertical transformation.


[ Philosophy / Comedy ]

An amusing icon wins
the executed inventor.
Across a romantic fails
an idiosyncratic customer.
Philosophy excludes
Comedy.
Comedy dedicates
Philosophy.
The film grants
a permissible cream.
The constant anguish footnotes
Comedy
throughout a similar noble.


[ straight / sex ]

Sex cracks
next to straight.
Sex locks
an inhabitant
past an enough planet.
Sex powers
straight
before your empire.
On top of straight struggles
the stressed soil.
Sex receives
straight
around a chapel.
Under sex fishes
a provoked pleasure.


[ gay / sex ]

Gay oils sex across
an excess waste.
Gay rolls on top of
sex.
Sex stirs over
a successive animal.
Gay yields the muscle behind
a missing lust.

  1. Randomness can be so intriguing. I like how you broke the lines and arranged it all.

  4. This was fascinating, frightening, engaging, and left me wanting Gerald, my psychologist -- but I was most certainly engrossed...

  5. I agree with everyone else. Though a little differently. I feel like I just sit through a class with no clothes on and missed the entire lecture because I was worried no one would have found me attractive LMBO.

    GREAT thinking poem!
