This is a thread that has come out of a discussion between myself and Steven.
We have had 2 other shared threads that have come about in this way: Paranormal and Creative.
Please share your poetry, either something you have written, or one that you like/has meaning to you.
Prose is welcome too.

The American dream-fat ladies on therapists couches health food obsession meets psychologist's candy The American dream- guns for sale executions to follow, Your right to shoot and your punishment to die, The American dream- personal neurosis, collective self assurance, anti abortionist gas chamber caressing.
The American dream- mom's apple pie classrooms of children waiting to die The American dream- wholesome and clean liberal thoughts and reactionary deeds The American dream-bizarre and mundane continuous movie for the normally insane
