Irresistible Investment: The Autism Cure

cosmoramic ululations of the present
I quoted, vowelized
chelations of a language
instead of blood & capricious
metals kill my kin
reprobates of mind & how
to shake a hand exulting
capricious progeny

in what we do not understand
insolent
belief

thrasher you could live
among exploded people
who do not think
like you

    I know I live among exploded people. Some of us only partial exploded and many of us who enjoy writing poetry. Your point of view is interesting. I enjoyed the frankness of your words and the hard hitting quality. Thank you for sharing this work, Elizabeth. I really liked it. =D

    I love the word ululation, that attack mode of celebration or clebratory mode of attack sounded forth by women on the ridge of the hill or dune since time immemorial. “Cosmoramic ululations of the present” takes time-immemorialness and makes it specific and universal at the same time. Nice!

    “blood & capricious
    metals kill my kin”

    what great lines, and how true

    this poem is very powerful and effective, capturing my sympathies

    Good use of the words, and you added a great and appropriate one in ‘ululation’. Great image of the shaking hand, with its simpler diction and rhyme with understand.

    “you could live
    among exploded people
    who do not think
    like you”

    And don’t we all, everyday?

    BTW – I really like your other blog. It’s similar in content to a group blog I administer. :)

    Thanks for stopping by Zouxzoux.
