UFO for sitting in a dorm room with the lights off listening to Acid Rap over and over
papercranechronicles
this feeling is moving through
a grove of trees all bent into limbs
like ghost parts that you poem into
your mouth where you scrape
all the soft off, still mouthsick
from the berries, still wary of the way
the blue juice runs into the back
of your neck and down your wrists
and how you always say you feel like
your ‘teeth are falling out’
this is the feeling of gossamer skin
caught inside your throat and sliding
down into your veins and
stuck in the corners of your teeth
how blue is blue you vomit blue but
it is not soft. this is the feeling of
your fingers in my throat
because you want the contents of my stomach
to meet the contents of
your stomach

Fantastic! I love the inventive language and grammar in this: "mouthsick," "poem into your mouth," "scrape all the soft off." It has the true essence of a feeling (however vague that may sound), and I'm def groovin' to it. I rate this 10 obscure 90's bands out of 10.
