in my Poetry Writing Workshop -318 class we're working on taking words/images that disgust us and trying to make a cohesive poem out of it. I've never posted in here before but here is what I'm submitting to the class. Let me know what you think.
His life is empty soda cans atop computer desks.
Filthy fingernails jack-hammer letter keys, leaving his oily
identification on the P-O-R-N ivories.

Perverse body hair and moist scabs are unveiled while
Bob Barker herds his showcase showgirls
The frame squeaks incessantly in anguish.
As pellets of sweat navigate white head pimples
and fresh face herpes, the futon cries rape.
