Go back and edit at the last two lines. There’s a space in the word “shoe”.
We always wonder if past lovers think about us… it’s a natural thing. Particularly at the grocery. And for all you guys out there that fucked me… yes, I remember you – particularly in produce when I’m looking through the cucumbers.
Seriously, Blue – I can relate. Now put your shoes in the dryer and go back for that check out boy.

The metaphor of the shoe in the washing machine certainly heightens the auditory senses in the overall underlying anxiousness.
Great work Blue.

Or… the dude could have been a serial killer, and you missed out on a painful death. If Ted Bundy had been wandering around my campus when I was in school, just damn. I’d have jumped on that Volkswagen gearshift in a heartbeat.
I get you, though. Missed opportunity. It’s tough when you’re a girl. Guys think you’re being too assertive, but they always miss the signals.

Like Damian stated, I also found this powerful. Not everyone can make it to the summit for whatever reasons, but your analogy here is strong.
Nicely penned.

Read MoreIn this cafe, with dirt for wallpaper. The heat is a bitch, and the fan in the ceiling is the worst— turning counter-clockwise. Sipping on my cup of coffee and milk. Too many flies, buzzing, fighting over throne, fighting over food, fighting over fly-chicks. Whatever they are fighting for— only that...

Don’t want to be there but you forced me in this place with your detailed writing. DAMN GOOD! If you want an ice cream cone, go to Dampkitten’s poem “Poetspeak Sweet”. There you’ll find an ice cream cone and a whole lot more.

Yeah, they have bubble gum ice cream, and it’s gross. Also, have you tried the cotton candy green seedless grapes? My God, they taste just like it. Weird.

Bubble gum flavour id gross! I disagree. But hearing of cotton candy green seedless grapes, I think you are right about the bubble gum flavour in there. Hahaha.

LOL… I thought you were referencing my poem from the beginning. And now, I find out you like strawberry ice cream. OMG. By the way, is this ‘mosquito wing’ phrase an allusion to Smells Like Teen Spirit?
You do realize that you could enter this poem in the ‘coffee’ poem contest don’t you?
You will find this extremely weird, but the imagery in your piece is very reminiscent of the hotel scene early in the movie, Apocalypse Now.

Lol. I saw your poem after our fellow poet: visions_of_insanity’s recommendation for ice cream. It ended up another type of ice cream. Lol
No. But I liked the reference. I had another poem that I have lost, where I referenced Nirvana’s Smells like teen spirit.
Mosquito’s wings here symbolize inferiority. For their tiny wings comparing with flies. Idk why it came to my mind. But I used it.I didn’t know about the contest. The setting of this poem is in a cafe but the themes has nothing to do with coffee.
I don’t remember this scene. I think I’ll rewatch it one day.
Thank you for reading and for the comments, DK. “)

Mosquito wings comes with mosquito responsiblities. The limitless ability of sucking. Hahaha

Damn mosquito…no chance with all those flies, just keep them off my ice cream cone.
This is so powerful in its imagery…and such a disgusting place…I think I will get my cone to go.j.
