Ooh, poetry thread, do I get to subvert everyone's expectations about me now?

Midnight Radio

darkness isn't the absence of light.

darkness is a thing all its own
alive and everywhere.
we light our candles of wax and filament and diodes to keep it at bay
but all flames burn out eventually.

darkness is the absence of people.

the walmart lies empty, not a soul in sight
with nobody to ask where the frozen food is.
even the ghost of allen ginsberg
has gone home.

everything is automated these days
even the cashier
i solemnly bag my own groceries
and leave quietly, like church is over

midnight radio is the only sound
on these haunted streets
with sodium vapor working its flickering, buzzing magic
and the city glitters like gold

darkness is coming home to nobody in particular.

the city may never sleep
but then again,
knowing what it knows,
who would?

This is lovely. [no you don't]

Thank you :)

no it isn't, it's fucking stupid

namedropping allen ginsburg (who was gross) doesn't mean you're smart

Well, you've been a busy little bee today, haven't you sugar cookie?

this is a stupid, shitty poem, so you probably didn't rip it off from anyone, go you!

...I have a bad feeling about the fate of this thread. Looks like dethtoll got a personal hate!anon

I used to have three at once. Those were the days...

Some people can be so rude. >_> I know it's the internet, and trolls will always abound, but it pisses me off when it's about poetry. Poetry can be a pretty frightening thing to share with others, so thank you for putting it up here. ^^

I love the darkness theme in the poem and how it's this living, breathing thing that shrouds our lives that we can't suppress, not in ourselves or around us. It's about the darkness within people (to me) and I enjoyed it. <3

Thank you for the compliments. <3

That's an interesting interpretation, though. I was inspired to write it after a late-night run to Walmart a few months ago. I'd only just started getting into the habit of going to the store after midnight, and I wasn't quite used to the sheer emptiness of the place. It's really, really spooky.

This is really cool. It reminds me of this: http://www.poemhunter.com/best-poems/robinson-jeffers/night-159/ which is one of my favorite poems ever. I like the Ginsburg reference too.

Oh, I like this poem. And thank you!

I really love the last three stanzas (counting the one liner) a lot! Everything comes together so well in them, and really hits on a lot of feelings when I have to drive through town and go about my life at late hours.

Thank you! Yeah, I'm often running around late at night too, so it's nice to see someone else who gets it.

I really liked this.
