Poetry Critical 2.0
Hey guys, Donald here.
In a few weeks, this site will be 9 years old. 9 years! And I still know some of the earliest submissions by heart.
But, boy. That’s like 102 in web-years. So it’s time for something new. I’m building that something now with my nights-and-weekend minutes (and plenty of coffee). Buy me a cup?

| Trampas y disfraces detrás de grande-a'reas de pantallas de humo |
Smylinqt
|
Her skirt too short; her hair flung from one side | 1 |
to the | 2 |
other | 3 |
'gotta dolla, gotta dolla?' | 4 |
Dirty finger nails | 5 |
grazed her hips | 6 |
Red lipstick faded on her cheek | 7 |
With a smile of hypnotic schemes | 8 |
her mind deceiving her towards | 9 |
an out-stretched dream | 10 |
But cursed by suicidal things | 11 |
Suddenly blind | 12 |
like a wristwatch without time | 13 |
She can't tell yesterday | 14 |
from today or tomorrow | 15 |
| 16 |
'gotta dolla, gotta dolla?' | 17 |
over there, | 18 |
there's a one armed man | 19 |
with graffiti on his feet, face and hand | 20 |
parched skin | 21 |
wrapped like a drum around | 22 |
the tight throat of melody | 23 |
war songs between soldiers | 24 |
and long lost sons' | 25 |
they peer out | 26 |
from piercing bloodshot eyes | 27 |
her blade's serrated. | 28 |
Cigarette tossed aside | 29 |
| |
'Hey you! Conseguido al dolla, conseguido al dolla?' | 30 |
