| selling desires | 1 |
the same as selling doubt. | 2 |
| |
those creative admen | 3 |
who sold you all soldoubt, | 4 |
| |
and fear you know who sold you out; | 5 |
| |
and whose creative juices, | 6 |
orjism, thinly smeared, | 7 |
dries on our surfaces. and sticks. | 8 |
| |
and stoned, | 9 |
they just soiled us all. | 10 |
fucking just sold tout. | 11 |

I didn't like this at all on first reading, or second or third. But each time I read it, it got more interesting, seeing how words were used and connected to make completely new fresh words.
And the last line is pretty funny when you think about it. We were sold tout.

i'm sorry, but i am tired of this use of sexual content as a device to generate shock/awe/attention. i get the message but it's nothing that hasn't been said a hundred times before.
— engelwood
shouldn't there be an apostrophe in line 1? "desire's," for "desire is." yeah?
— unknown
no apostraphe because i want it to read both as the contraction and the plural.
— gnormal
I thought about the apostrophe too gnormal but because you made the line break where you did, it works. Good play on words. Another poet you might like: John Newlove - ever read him?
