Exquisite Corpse

Insanity	Contributor
Lifting the white veil, he looks at her and sees everything	Tony
has disappeared, those eyes that used to drown him dried up and blown	chameleon
With a dash of salt to flavor his wounds, he bled sarcasm all over the table.	3ringcrashpad
With an air of nonchalance, she used her bread to soap it up.	John
wrung it out into a paper cup, paper cut so thin it wouldn't	chameleon
wet the hair on an earwig's asshole	Tony
With expert steadiness, I took toothpicks dipped in honey and piss	3ringcrashpad
and lifted the hem of her skirt, thinking only of England	Tony
Laughter used to be a happy sound.	3ringcrashpad
Laughter used to keep us from slitting our heads open to see the dirt inside.	Tony
Now we're lining bullets along this Denny's table's edge.	John
and hoping the old syrup doesn't slow them down.	3ringcrashpad
Finding the night too long, she raised a glass of turpentine to Heaven	Tony
and dialed 911 to make sure she got her attention.	3ringcrashpad
When the police came, their sirens screaming, all still dressed from the annual drag ball,	Tony
her heels made perfect rythm against the tile as she ran away, echoing.	3ringcrashpad
Why she decided to eat her feet that night, I will never know.	John
The taste must have lingered like sneakers' scent on a teenage boy	Tony
as she kept eating, sustaining herself as she grew smaller and smaller	John
her own waste didn't taste so bad.	3ringcrashpad
She'd been eating spinach for weeks. (Before the feet)	John
Lucky rabbit's foot begged to be removed from Fluffy.	3ringcrashpad
"Oh please pull me out from this dark place" came the muffled cry...	John
So the doctor wrapped his hands around her head and told her mom to push.	3ringcrashpad
"Why oh why did I did I try to fit through the glory hole?" she thought to herself.	John
And whose glory hole is that, anyway?	Tony
Swallow glory whole, spit back seed and stem of praise	chameleon
with these - tu lips, parted in pregnant pause	John
and breath moving slowly along the gums toward the light	Tony
past the teeth and tongue	John
and into the trees of the Argonne Forest	Tony
where all three footed bunnies hobble,	3ringcrashpad
oh why did the surgeon bobble	John
I stuck him in the back window of my car.	3ringcrashpad
"Troll troll, window troll, tell me my future."	John
The bonds of time and space broken, the future a rising wave of foretelling...	Tony
Supernova binary black hole doubt, the past a shrug of regret...	John
drips like snot right out my snout.	3ringcrashpad
long past lost and hurtling toward abandoned	chameleon
