dr_con Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Cut short by one syllable It's incautious to snort Hell's Angels bathtub speed without health insurance off of white porcelain. Quote thegateless.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_con Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 This and many other tidbits are appearing on Gate(less) with the accompanying images. Link to signing up in signature line. I'll try to post some new work here occasionally, but am consumed by making Gate(less) my personal showcase - So if you occasionally enjoy my work, I ask you sign up for the 'free' options. Low volume;-) Much Appreciation, Juris d. Ahn and Dr. Con Quote thegateless.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badger11 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Hi Juris, Not unwrapping this one, but that is not definitive. The opening line is characteristically DR. C, a clarity to hook, but then threads into L2 to make me wonder what's going on. A web search referenced 'poor man's coke', which made L3 darkly comic. Perhaps the 'gear' had been cut with porcelain. Of course, it is the 'one syllable', rather than the narcotics that has me hooked. best Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_con Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 Thanks Phil for commenting. Yes the intention is darkly humorous and its always refreshing to be reminded that their are americanisms and subculture colloquialisms. The Porcelain is off of, not ground into;-) Maybe the image will help! 😉 https://conjurd.substack.com/p/a-true-and-accurate-account Much appreciation, Juris Quote thegateless.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinker Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Hi Juris, This is quite different than your usual offerings. I like its brevity. I am wondering, though probably correct, it might read with more clarity "Hell's Angel Bathtub Speed" like a name or title without the possessive 's. Just a thought that occurred when I read it for the 2nd time because I stumbled on it the first read. I understand your choosing another site and I am sure we will all look in but please don't abandon us entirely. We all have other sites we visit but only have so much time to divide ourselves too thin. ~~Judi Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_con Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 TY Judi, changed per your directive. No its not another site, rather its a once weekly poetry Blog/zine. Everyone choose the 'Free' option, although I am beginning to do 'Paid' subscriptions, right now its still primarily focused on doing newer more multimedia poems;-) And I will be checking in here occasionally. TY! J Quote thegateless.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyv Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 This like a haiku, but more my speed (pun intended). I enjoyed it a lot. I get your weekly publication in the PMO inbox and enjoy its tasteful, elegant layout. Don't forget to include a promotional topic for it in our "Promotions" forum.
