action movie

I had to admit, the following "poem" was heavily edited from the original (like done with the said melon knives in the ...)

One truly bored day, I stumbled onto a site, Language is a Virus, and its generator threw up some crazy lines that I had no choice but to, er, chop it up (but i tried to retain as much of the trash as possible).

Yeah, if you really need some inspiration...

action movie


really i have never investigate the crazy stunts
the gorillas, and your dark ravens nod their heads, conspiring
i am at the end of my teeth oh shit! these things which creep me,
and which i cannot put a finger to it, because it's sliced nicely

so you send your dinosaurs, bandoliers full, to outgun me
but arquebuses are slow, the stench of betrayal hangs heavy
my vultures will pick them off, heavy by heavy metal
sharp in their black suits, at home in them grungy cliffs

or if your rats were to ask me, i would say
go eat cake and they wisely nod their heads
and roll over dead when the gorillas from chicago
come in from the door with their streetsweepers, oh god!

go ask the hapless foxes their feet in cement blocks
the silencer or the cold blades: your choice, the rottweilers
their eyes popping as the grenade roll across the dirty linoleum
ripping apart weeds and shells and blood with each shrugging

don't stare, hide your baseball bats, look constipated
as the tigers from hong kong unwrap their melon knives
not fine steel really and plastic handles but it gets the job done
better than the claymores of your ravens dripping dark blood.




2017 (or sometime in 2016. look, let them hangovers run off first, okay?)
****

Oh, this piece was written in 4-line stanzas. If it appears odd on your monitor, blame it on the blog's layout. 😁

Very interesting and intricate. It's almost like a maze. You think you're headed for the exit, and then more peril appears!

Oh, I love it, I love it! *Laughing wth delight.* I must go back to the generator. I never thought of fiddling with the generated words to make something as (nonsensically) coherent as this. Wonderful, wonderful lines and phrases, but I think I like 'look constipated' best of all – even more than those ravens and the baseball bats. (And 'go eat cake' cracked me up too.) I think you should start writing best-seller thrillers.

the original was was quite a chunk of gibberish, but after a reworking (substituting some nouns and verbs) it turned out quite okay. :)
