Bubblegum

What's that?
Stuck on your shoe?
Hard and fast
like superglue
I can see something pumping
In and out
In and out
It's thumoing
Lift it up
and let me see
Just what exactly can it be?
Mashed up and on display
on your foot
was something you quite freely took.
I gave you my heart
Like you'd give me your hat
and you trod on it.
Like a pile of crap.

come on, now! i got a piece about "bubblegum" but it seems yours is takin' the flavor of bubblegum as well as the flava'of life, and relations which is a clever way to look at cause and effect of a bad relationship....... so much love involved.
i like your peace better than my own. i had written mine back in high school.... so if i made any changes to it now it would only mirror yours.and well i will eventually have it up posted maybe on this site i don't know cause it's cheesy and and it really don't describe my style of writing so.........

great poem. this really reminds me of Shel Silverstein. i have a couple of his cd's where he reads his poems. as i head this it was his voice i heard...he kind of read it to me.

I like the unexpected ending.

And the rest of it, of course.
