Color Deaf (Michael Paul Ladanyi)

and now you’ve had your fun---
so where’s your conscious?
1-2-3-4, your isms are standing blue
in fish-dead rows,

your piss-riddled nostrums
are bastarding our
trace-of-your-face children.
who do you love?

this public service announcement
to your red/machine/western/war-moon---

what

is

black

wetness,

is lost beneath your

adam-apple

feet.

who do you love?

your stammer-mouth ghosts are host
to everything you bleed,
are june’s sitar curvature.

what’s in your war-fucking name?

our acoustic every-where’s
are lost to your discovery;
we are in pain over song-sung
wove-n-spun days---

we

are

azure

pain---

sinequanon our eyes become color deaf.

I would like to hear this read aloud. You did an outstanding job at the enjambment, the natural pauses, the way the phrases turn.
