I Learned How To Eat Pussy From A Woman

 

Predicting the past

From the future

Before I was born

I could feel myself disappear

And never worry

But when I got to earth

Everyone was in a hurry

I barely recognized

Why I had fingerprints.

 

They gave me a mother

But I realized I could care less about fucking her

They gave me a father

But I never really wanted to be anything like him

So I had to raise myself

While staring at beauty I could not comprehend

 

I learned how to breathe from fire

I learned how to walk from trees

I learned how to touch from silent fear

I learned how to share from fleas

I learned how to eat pussy from a woman

I learned how to cry from dreams

 

Now and again I have no clue who or what I am

But I am learning to understand

That it does not really matter

For I am anything I allow myself to be.

I wish everyone a safe travel home.

I have two books out It's Hard To get There When You Are Already There and Gifted Disabitlies on amazon.com they are wonderful like you. much love

Justin...

I like your poem.. you might want to consider changing the title
to something like..learning to live.. just a suggestion.. but I
think the title will put many off the read.. of course there are
those like me.. enjoyed the read.. and welcome to Neopoet!

Can't say anything

bad about the poem. wasn’t bad. A little far out there, but not bad. As for the title, I am an old fart and not really in love with the title. I thought it was rather unnecessary like the line in the poem. Just your gratuitous sex scene in the poem like they do on TV and the movies. Had noting to do with the integrity of the poem. Otherwise it was quite interesting.

A great

explanation of your potential future and past’s architecture.
An awareness of possibilities and the absurdness of this absurdness.
An instruction manual for confidence.
A mathematical proof of NO possible right or wrong in this life, as interpreted by Mr. Words.

This sites commentators will try with all their might to water you down.
They will waste their own energy and stifle their own evolution.
Their reluctance to work on themselves through their own writing can be seen in the trite color of the poetry stream. A few beautiful pieces of trash float down it. But you will have to keep your senses wide open to absorb them.

As for your title…. fuck going against your instincts as a creative communicator.
Everyone else will just have to catch up.
Puritan guesses run deep in American veins. So let us inject some new thoughts into the information super bloodways.

Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, tits, farts, turds, and twat!

blimey!

Sorry, just had to check this one out, as I’m sure there was a catch… LOL! The poem is great, but I have to echo the others that many would be offended by the title. I know it’s meant to yoink the reader’s attention, but it also opens you up for a severe tongue-lashing. Cool shades, bro…. very retro! Look forward to more of your work.
