I took some crazy pills, or something, and wrote stuff

*********

I wear my body like a serpent
Shrouding my essence in flesh
Veins pulsing
A thousand tiny rivers
Pouring into my centre

How I yearn to shed
To beat this husk
Until released
Sliding from discarded coils
I am myself once more

*********

The mind,
Being a garden,
Must ever be tended/(a)mended/(co)mended.

One day an action movie stumbled
quite by accident
onto the set of a romantic movie

The romance movie seeing it fell
quite naturally
head over heals for the action movie

Having seen everything the noir movie
reported back
to his ever mysterious client

Meanwhile, the natural disaster movie
had just returned
from saving the earth from
glacier cold, polar axis shifting, storm causing meteors

Knowing only kung fu, the action movie
approached the natural disaster movie
asking for advice on courtship

"Explosives!" proclaimed the natural disaster movie
they solve just about anything that could endanger the earth
"For a date?" queried the poor action movie
"I'm afraid I don't know anything about that"

Action movie visited the Picaresque,
but she wasn't home

He dropped by the horror movie's pad
but he was too busy killing time
to offer any advice

Next was the sci-fi movie
but his translator was broken

Dejectedly, our poor little action movie
wandered home, but on the way
saw a quaint little rustic home

"Documentary will know the answer" he said aloud
but the documentary movie did not answer him
instead he turned The Knowledge Network
"This was my uncle" documentary movie beamed

Knowing now the ways of courtship
action movie returned triumphantly
only to find his dear romance movie
murdered

Moved by such a tragic deed
action movie went looking around for thugs to beat up
finding several, he actioned, and triumphed
but he was not complete

And so he kung fu'd his way
from place to place, drawing ever closer to his prey
he had fought all of this time, but never for love
and thus was he invincible

When at last he stood over the beaten body
of some unnamed minion a figure stepped from the shadows
"Noir" said the action movie
and it was the noir movie, who smiled, drawing his revolver

"Tell me who killed Romance"
"I would rather shoot you"
-=BANG=-
and blood spilled slowly from the open wound
action movie fell into a ever growing pool

As his eyes began to close, for their last time
quite languidly
dark comedy stepped into view, to watch Action's last breath.
