i was freewriting off of a prompt last night and wrote something that came out as pretty much a fully formed slam poem.
I don't plan on ever reading this on a stage but it is a little interesting.
---
adamantium
---
It was one of those moments
so awkward that the refrigerator stopped humming
Just so that it would not be the one that broke the silence
And other men
would notice this
take it as a cue
and leave
But
I have never been very good at being other men
Apparently
you did not know that before they concocted up the
A horse more hollow then your heart
they tried storming the Trojan’s gates
with my battering ram skull
because that is how thick headed I am
concrete
goddamn good friend that happens to be a really hot girl
I have heard you cry on my shoulder about all these guys that fuck you and leave you
I could give you so much more then that
I know so much more about you and we would be good for each other and it wouldn’t
Just be about the hot steamy shirt ripping sex
So
When you say that there wouldn’t be a chance of
you and me together as a thing or even possibly a thing
for at least a 1,000 years
You obviously did not know
that my love for you pulses through my veins metallic adamantium thick
adamantium is the stuff that comes in wolverine that superhero who regenerates
so shoot me down again you cupidic Unabomber
I don’t need a fucking Kevlar vest
I have adamantium love in my chest
And yes
That means I will live to see you in a 1,000 years
When I will unearth your 1,954 year old corpse
Purchase a newly invented restoration process because it’s the year 3,000 or something
And then, if you want me to
I will wait 1,000 years
And I will wait 1,000 more
Just to be the man who waits 2,000 years
To fall down at your grave and resurrect you again
(for those of you who need context here I did actually say that to her when she shot me down
I mean, not word for word, that was a summing up of it, but I did mention wolverine and adamantium and I have never seen a woman fall for a rant so dorky but it worked)
It’s that special kind of love that comes from friendship
That roses are red violets are blue and I know all of your secrets kind of love
That special kind of weight and care that only a friend can offer
Hey, so this is the point when do I do have to ask
“baby, now that that is whole thing is settled do you want to like decide before hand who is going to top and who is going to bottom or do you just want to fuck?”
