I Am That Guy

Neville

I Am That Guy

 

I am that guy you despise with the

lawn mower on Sunday mornings

after a heavy night out on the town

 

I am that guy who always reaches

for the nearest tooth brush

regardless of its original owner

 

I am the guy that smiles incongruently

at your child as you pass him in the park

on your way to her school

 

I am the guy that keys your new motor

And pisses in public places

Just for the hell of it

 

I am that guy who always leaves the seat up

and who uses the f word

In front of children and priests

 

I am the guy who spiked

your daughters drink and fucked her

on the way home

 

I am the guy who put bromide

in your water tank

and laughed about it on the way to work

 

I am the guy you have always wanted to be

The anarchist and risk taker

Or whoever and whatever you want me to be

  • Comment from author about the poem: This is my 100th post here.. and I chose it to try and prove a point.... In effect, as writers and poets, we can for a moment at least, appear to be any one or any thing.... for example, I have written about serial killers in the past.. it does not mean I am one... all we need is an imagination and a pen..... All Good Things, Neville

    This is what I mean by a 'good poet' - one who can write from imagination and doesn't rely solely on personal experiences. another great posting Neville and congrats on your 100th posting.

      I wondered who that guy was - now I know! I thought it was Joe Bloggs, until I read your poem N.

        Yes an interesting read,
        Tis true, just because we write it does not make it who we are.

        I am that girl,
        Dust

        Maybe

        • Neville

          Clever write Neville, our imagination holds so many people within it it that are not ourselves. Congrats on reaching one hundred.

            I could cuss you but you're the guy i always wanted to be?

            The guy i always wanted to be was a jailbird who seemed able to hold the devotion of the most desireable ladies i happened to fail to woo.
            Owlish, i was a twit to woo.

              poetry is a fine aphrodisiac.. try shredding a few old poems, add a pinch of hot chilli and slip it into her Vimto...... cheers DA.... N

              Words can be juggled to provide exciting adventures when we become what we want to be - poetry is the best outlet for imaginative journeys to never-land Neville as this good write proves.

              • Neville

                I thank you dear Fay... and muchly so.... N

                Imagination is what makes the poet and the storyteller what they are. All things are possible, the limits are those of the universe. Creativity is the brush in the hand of the artist or the pen with the poet. Your poem offers a walk on the wild side of creativity. We can be evil or good, human or other, we can relate truth or falsehoods, the possible or the fantastic. We can frighten or sooth, express beauty or ugliness.
                Awesome write, thoughtful and provoking. You are mayhem waiting to happen. - Phil A.
