asterism OP wrote

what is a blank canvas?
an opprotunity, a curse, a chance to rehearse pencil lines.
a promise, a threat, something done and not done yet.

what is a self?
a persona self-inflicted upon me, my own creation
or nothing at all and perhaps also everything

what is anarchy?
a canvas, a self, and yet something else still.
a single thread, and a tapestry, both alone and interwoven.
a contradiction and an end to contradiction.
a freedom that makes my chains yet heavier
a compassion that fills me with disgust
a love that fills me with hate
a peacfulness that fills me with turmoil
a want for more and to want nothing

Who would a thunk of a yellow elephant; green trunk?
Yellow a color so happy; a trunk green with envy?
Or maybe the elephant shows sport team loyalty?
Or maybe I took a tumble, knocked my head, am drunk?

Who would a thunk of a yellow elephant; green trunk?
Yellow the life giving sun? Green sun-dependent life?
The colors breathing together with life oh so rife?
Elephant a life giving god? to lion and skunk?

Who would a thunk of a yellow elephant; green trunk?
Yellow-bellied, a trunk filled with greed, desiring green?
A cowardly elephant bandit, fleeing the scene!
Surely this is the meaning, no doubt a true slam-dunk!

I overthunk of a yellow elephant; green trunk!
The meaning is plain, written on its face, silly you!
There is one explanation for this combo of hues!
Painter, their paint spilled; a yellow elephant; green trunk!

freeverse time!

"The fuck is muktuk!?" asterism thinks and then types into google.
Ah, skin deep, raw inuit cuisine,
skin deep, that is whale skin and blubber.

Asterism flubbed over their thoughts. "poor whales"
though they wondered how scarce food was in places so cold
This wasn't a problem they felt the need to resolve

what was its taste, Asterism imagined something like jerky mixed with chewing gum mixed with something nutty or melty.
or maybe it tastes like mercury and microplastics, the most ubiquitous flavors of all

Its appearance reminds Asterism of some old timey candy they can't remember the name of, or 2/3 of a neaopalitan ice cream
mmm, ice cream, bet whale blubber tastes nothing like ice cream.
Though some eat it frozen like whale pops

Strawberries? an unfortunate misnomer
Strawberries, a berry? myth straight from Homer
They are an aggregate accessory fruit
with a fragrance so sweet, they make you smell cute

Put them on the rim of your drink make it sweet
or add them to some cream for a tasty treat
or crush it and can it for jam for your toast
put it with shortcake for flavor few can boast

or do it right and grab them straight from the bush
Pick them when ready and ripe. go, I won't push
So beautiful, sweet, so plump, juicy, and red
eat them and eat them until you are all fed

A poem to asterism.


Oh it's the old town road

Im eating an orange

I slipped down and got burn of the road

Guess what juice is on me now, orange


Oh no is that a tack

That sure is wreck

Bc I don't like tack

Whats synonym for computer, I don't care cuz I just wreck


I'm gonna play baseball with my cat

I'll make sure to bring my catcher mitt

I thought I saw a rodent but it was just my cat

I will not hit on the field; I will just play with my mitt

--++++

I saw a man who was fat

He was on a rug

The man drummed his cats head did the man who was fat

There was also some sort of insect on the rug

Oh shit! Oh Fuck!
imma write a poem 'bout the duck
Hell, yeah! ready?
alright, now hold this thing steady

Of different genuses
Drakes have giant corkscrew penises
Now that is the reason
They are waddling the entire season

They have three eyelids
they wipe from their eyes your bullshit bids
They waterproof
aloof, they got no time for you, you goof.

they social
think twice they ain't at your disposal
no sweat glands
They ain't sweating you nor your demands

so sit down you fuck!
make way for the duck!

edit: Here is a stanza I took out because it didn't fit with the overall vibe

The afro duck?
a genetic skull problem; breeder schmuck
The white ones?
domesticated, they ain't wild sons

Yeah if I was trying I would have at least avoided doorway and way though the others I am cool with. But in general I don't like when people rhyme a word with itself it nags at me.

Like that song in Moana, the repetition was definitely a good intentional choice but it still pulls me out of the song/movie completely. Like yes island does rhyme with island.

Pass me the reefer,
Let me tell you 'bout the one they call LettuceLeafer.
a die hard believer
in Vladamir Lenin that ancient deciver.

or wait that ain't right.
ain't they that ancap that shoots ancaps on sight?
anarcho landord
never ignored, adored, for giving hordes, room and board.

no I am wrong twice.
don't take my advice, I forgot the worst of their vice
useless lifestylist
that shits in the woods and commits deeds most unstylish.

I am losing thread,
chaos magician? so much lettuce in my head.
a non-state actor?
Bringing anarchy; being a blessed benefactor.

or maybe the lettuce.
the lettuce is the lettuce that we let us
make along the way.
because what is a person if not a doorway?
