The darkness of the sunlight

Is the ache of the screaming abyss' heart;

Under seven thousand shells of steal

Your head holds its tinsel counterpart.

And in the eerie silence

That deep throats the Earth,

Your god holds your intestines:

Quake and burst.

You dream typewriter litanies,

And, honestly, *@#* you;

The Mayflower sails at dawn:

You will ignore and tongue the taboo.

Child with the Broken Pen was originally written with the intention that it attempt to visualize several young adult writers I was working with at the time without being directly affronting to the said persons. Child with the Broken Pen was, in other words, a spontaneous but honest attack upon writers of literary dullness, pulp and cliche. In retrospect, it was not fair to the said group, but is easily applicable to other more deserving candidates.
