Amusement For My Muse

I realised I hadn't posted anything here recently, so I wrote a stream-of-consciousness thing this morning to post... It's just there in type as the words came into my head, so it's very raw and unrefined. Suggestions are muchly appriciated.

Amusement For My Muse

They say the world loves love,
Then why does it hate lovers?
Really, it’s a little like

Biting your arms off
Because you like a game of chess.
Yes, me too, you too,
You and all of all the rest.

Within touching distance, apparently
Of love in suitcase, or
Underneath of white-painted doors.
Touching distance is relative
And modernisation means it increases
As armspan does.
But as armspan increases, so does
Lifespan, and we find, in fact,
That we get tired
Of being within touching distance
Of everyone. We realise
That touching everyone’s lives
Means ours are touched by their
Prying hands, and our hearts
By their prying eyes.

We start to wish touching distance
Could be expanded.
But still we keep in touch.

The last questionnaire they gave me
Asked for “Stereotype”.
I noticed they missed off the box
For “Other. Please specify:”
But when it comes down to it,
Would I?

lalal funny how!

My apologies for that^ I just read the poem then looked back at the title and laughed they perfectly go, glad you posted something! The armspan is really good, one thing though, thats a bit odd, the second stanza?

Maybe its me and disliking chess, however the rest has a really cool modern touch!

for me, a critical person, to give any praise is rare, and i say it is good. i also say, however, that it is not strange enough. if i were you, which i am obviously not, i wouldnt listen to me, because i say everything is not strange enough. and i will be very please if this post comes out in coherent sentances...

and was the rest of it a joke?
i am pretty strange. ask someone who knows me, but the chances are you wouldnt know them... you could ask me to ask them, but that sort of defeats the purpose because that is still just taking my word for it and the whole point of it is that you dont just want to believe me because i rarely know what i am talking about, especially when i am talking about what i think and about me and things, because the only thing i am clear about is that i dont know and that i am mad... but then that is two things, so i am also clear that i cant count, which brings it up to three, a very hateful number, one of my least favourite becuase everyone likes it, so i am going to add another one to make it four, which is that i know i dont like the number three... a fifth one might be the reason that i dont like it, which is that i dont like to like what other people like to like, and i dont like being the same as other people because i am individual and madder than them. i used to pretend not to be strange becuase i thought people would think i was strange, and then i realised that i am strange, so i might as well not try and hide it, because people just thought i was being rude and not a nice person, or didnt have much personality, because i tried not to show the real me, so i never spoke, and i was afraid to say things because i thought they might be wrong or not normal or make people think i was different, which i am, so i have no idea why i didnt want them to think it. maybe now i might have gone a bit too far into the other direction, into complete madness and people thinking of me as only insane, but i tell you it is a lot happier than being normal and having to always think about if what you are doing and saying is normal and acceptable... i would also like to add that i have no idea what i am going on about, which i think i have allready said. and here is a warning for you
*IGNORE ME*
when i dont make any sense or when you cant be bothered to read what i am saying... sometimes i make more sense, dont worry, i am not that bad, or maybe i am... i dont know, i have managed to confuse myself, and probably by this time you as well, in which case i would be pleased becuase my job is to confuse. it is the thing i am second best at. the thing i am third best at is making other people go mad, and arguing and debating things. then going on about nothing for ages and ages. oh i am *talented*
now i am going to shut up. anytime you want me to shut up just say so. go on, tell me to shut up. you know a strange thing? people call me quiet!!!
woohooo... breathe... calm...
