Hey everybody! This is almost Finished version of this poem on page BUT I'd like to lose a couple of lines to fit it into one minute rounds for slam competition. I've italicized the parts that are on the chopping block. It timed out at 1:11 in my last reading. But I like my ten second grace period to be just that so I'm looking to lose 11 second. Let me know what you think should go, or what more you want from the piece.thanks WD

Bettie, if they could fantasize me into non-existence I would take it.
for you I would be etched onto forearms, biceps and thighs
cast as a tattoo bombshell Dark curls rest like snakes on bare shoulders
Bettie Paige, we will live on winking at the camera forever in snuff film heaven
We are cigar smoke thick and blue; lurking around ankles Banned from most bars these days you can still smell us in the floor boards
No amount of varnish can remove these stains it's part of who we are
Bettie if your skin is die cast hand painted metal are you to be collected
Have they finally made you hard for a change wished Medusa's curse-gift into reverse
Give me metal skin make me pant like Jenna Jameson until I never want to fuck off camera again
Paint me beautiful I am damaged with vixen red lips say that is not the problem sparkling with snake oil
stretch me across canvas Olivia make me understand the power of lust in two dimensions
Bettie I was wondering if you ever get tired of looking at stone. |
