It's like taking a piss,
blocked [ind] up [ind] pushing.
Let it all go.

Pinch one out,
like wild geese's farting noises,
or just bob there pathetically

like

a quail's funny knob.


Congealing from mind's vacancy,
a smeary glob
changing clarity.
Stop pushing, PUSH HARDER DAMNIT

No need, Just cry your whiny heartbreak tears
and be done with it
pansy boy

they're all the same.
Damnit I just



[ind] squeezed one out again.






Not particularly surreal in the end, but the cues were taken from:
Lianne's Writing from the heart thread

the ---'s in this poem would have been extra spaces but the forum strips extra spaces Sad
If something happens and you can remedy it, Why worry?
And if something happens that you can't remedy, Still why worry?

Pinch one out,
like wild geese's farting noises, When a plural noun uses an apostrophe it comes after the "s", so it should be "geeses'".

Congealing from mind's vacancy, Is this line needed? It feels too wordy and tacked on.
a smeary glob
changing clarity.

No need, Just cry your whiny heartbreak tears "just" Also, is the comma needed? You could draw the same effect by splitting this line in two after "need". Just a suggestion.

This is a funny and kind of gritty poem about writing, like some of Charles Bukowski's. I like the toilet humour, which is conveyed elegantly, and sardonic wit. Critique is JMHO. Thanks for the read.
