Description
Unzip your fists.A microwaved Moment of wobbly love,
still cloudy, with warmth –
wiggles in front of your eyes.
Hurl it in your mouth.
Let it dissolve
til’ only crumbs
of soggy Memory
is all that’s left behind.
Kick them down your throat.
Squeeze them through your tunnels
until they Plop --
smack-dab into your Heart.
There, they’ll remain,
nestled and snug,
as time does its braiding –
and weaves them into One.
Then, it will wriggle
and droop til' it
falls.
so heavy, so full,
so out of control
so fearlessly bold --
Down it'll go.
A wet, brown globe.
A Cheese-Cutting bloat.
A gurgling moan.
Distance disintegrates.
Discomfort widens.
A Door is opened........
Smells Smell Smelly.
And Out – it POOPS.
so raw. so fresh.
-- onto Porcelain Paper
in an ink – damp room
with a deafening BOOM --
of poetry.
Of art.

Ahaha. Well that is the effect I am trying to hunt down.
The normal bodily function of Poop is so underappreciated in this world. I think it deserves some kind of crazily nifty analogy. so I made it one!
Thanks for the comment.

I saw this when you sent me the message a few days ago but I was busy, and stressed, and I knew that it'd be worth saving until I could read it properly. And boy, is it!
You know what? I said 'I'm going to be good, I'm going to give my dear poo-girl a really long comment like she deserves.' But you know what? I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING TO SAY EXCEPT THAT I LOVE THIS! Every line makes me giggle, wince and smile all at once. I've read over and over, and the only decent tribute I can think of is just to go and do a dump in honour of Art! A-H-H!
So you'll have to make do with a favourite. And with a humble pointing out that it's Sarah with a h. My childhood nemesis was called Sara, and I was Sarah, and they kept mixing us up, and we grew pained. But I LOVE THIS POEM! AND I LOVE YOU!

ahhhhhhhhhh!!!
Ahhhhhhhhhhh!
Well. you're going to hug it even more now. I editted it quite a bit, because I wrote it at about 12:00 midnight, with a stomach ache and a head ache. And I really wasn't in a flowy mood.
BUT NOW I AM!
So I editted it. And I stuck a big fat H after your name.
Tell me what you think!
I'm a poo-girl now! Yay!
It's so amazingly, outrageously rufty-tufty to have someone to share my sentimental poo-conversations with. I am honestly the only freshman in my Highschool who thinks that poop is not down right disgusting! ahhh!!!
THEy are out of their minds I tell you! out of their minds!
*hugs you to death* *brings you back to life* *ductapes you together*

You know, I think I might have preferred the original? I love what you've done to the first few sections, but I certainly liked the final two stanzas better the way they used to be. Or maybe I just got used to them like that. I don't know. 'Plump Smelly Smells!' is perhaps a little too much. And I know I like it without the 'pleasure' - of poetry. of art. is just such a fantastic climax that it just doesn't need anything more! Trust yourself, girl!
But the h is very appreciated! And did I ever tell you my third favourite smell is horseshit?
(waggles a gaffa-taped arm experimentally)

Ahh ok. If you think the ending for the original is awesome, then I'll immediately change it back. It's dedicated to you anyways! hahhaa!!!
Horseshit?
Out of all the wonderful, puddly nifty smells in the whole world, you stuck "horseshit" as number three in your favorite smell list?
hey.. wait...
actually my third favorite smell is Durian. It smells like feet and poop, but somehow a tad different. It's a smell you can get used to. And once you do, it somehow makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. Ahah. You can't exactly explain it.
Durian is a fruit. And in my opinon -- it's the tastiest edible thing that ever plopped out of this Earth.
It tastes like heaven and love, and balmybeach mornings, and childhood and poetry and dA in a solid, edible form.
Like the best banana pudding in the world, haagen daz butterscotch icecream, thanksgiving pumpkin pie, yams, peaches, danish pastries, pancakes, peaches, rice, chicken and garlic at the same time. And they say it's the healthiest food in the world.
ahhh..
DURIAN! AHH! And it's horny! pun intended. The shell is composed entirely of greenish brown horns.

Just 'cause it's dedicated to me doesn't make it mine!
And it IS a puddly smell! It reminds me of agricultural fairs, and balloons, and running around patting horsies. The funniest thing I've ever seen was a horse fart. That could've MOVED MOUNTAINS, baby! It's just...so organic. And welcoming. Don't ask me, it just is! But my favourite smell EVER is woodsmoke on a really cold winter's morning.
I'm going to have to get me one of those fruits. Never heard of it before!

hahaha.. that made me smile.
Everything about toilets and poop and pee and bathrooms make me smile....
Hahaaa... I love how we can both hurl such deep, descriptive, assuring comments about those underappreciated normal bodily functions -- all without any droplets of hesitance! hahaha!!!
Horse fart. Yeah. Now that's something I wanna experience. Have you seen kangaroos fart?
You're in Australia! That would be a very original thing to see!
I showed my creative writing teacher this poem today, and she started laughing so hard, and she said "Jessie! Your poop made my week, I tell you. I'm going to frame this poem and place it on the wall above my toilet, and stick in some laughter every time I need a leak."
Ahahhaha... ahahha! *cries* *dies* *flies*

I must confess that no - I have never seen kangaroos fart! Even though my granny does raise baby kangaroos. I have seen them poo, but it's not exactly interesting. They don't seem to take a great deal of pleasure in it, at any rate. Not like us, eh?
YAY! I'm so happy for you! And I think she should place it on the wall above all the school toilets as well. Then everyone may be ENLIGHTENED while they're...enlightening themselves! A-ha! A-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

*blink blink* ...*blink blink* alrighty then...the poop part is very...ummm....ok I'll say it, disgusting, but i really enjoyed digesting the metaphors (digesting..get it? haha *sighs* I know, I'm pathetic)...Another awesomely chewy poem...well done.

chewy poem about poop.
Hmm...
Well thanks for the the awesome comment! Yes!
I love getting such a variety of remarks on my poems. Even if it does cause people to think that I'm crazy.
Because that is a big chunk of who I am.
