The Passion Of The Antonym Poem by Raj Dronamraju

The Passion Of The Antonym



I don't want to frame you in a big overarching romance of limited imagination
Removed of all privacy and made bland for public consumption
So here's a trigger warning for a woman bred to be sensitive about certain details

She makes me keep track like a courtroom stenographer
Reads the testimony of a minority viewpoint
Applies Solomonic wisdom to cut her baby in half

She writes "this is me not caring"
Eating gas station fried chicken
Washing your hair no more than twice a week

Admit to nonchalance on the fact you share a life with another person
Don't grab it and hold it and squeeze the life out of it
Get down on your knees and pray to a miserly god for this happiness happening
Loose dragon, aged, flabby, couldn't generate enough fire to light a candle
Makes a toothless demand on a boring lover
Ping pongs perishable affections in a cave they clung to like fungus

For that's crazy Kaylee
Among her peer group, the one who held a beating human heart
Wrapped it up in a box and sent it to friends and foes alike
