Sadism makes drivers scream
A signal in your nervous system
Nightmare booster painting the scream
Screaming out in pain out of nowhere
Describing someone passing out in the rain
It was like my thigh was trying to have a baby
.
Arthritis pain
Chronic wound pain
Hernia pain
Limb pain
.
Many people scream out in pain
A heartbroken community grieves
Pleading guilty to visiting a chiropractor
Finding moments of pain amid joy
.
Screaming releases endorphins into the body
Time for the next drug dose
You are a critical part of your scream’s success
Bad lumbar punch
I could hear a voice screaming
.
Vicodin, Percocet
Neurontin, Lyrica,
Topamax, and Tampax radiant pearl
.
When data is accidentally exposed
Emotions have protective functions
That is for survival

FLARF is a wild style of poetry that started as a joke. People noticed that no matter how bad your poems were Poetry.com would tell you that you had won their poetry prize. Then, they would try to scam you out of your money. So devious poets started sending the crappiest poetry they could write to Poetry.com. Even that would win the poetry prize. These poets began sending each other their crappy poems, and eventually it became a legitimate poetry style. If you want to read more about the FLARF or any of the other poetry terms, check out the glossary of poetic terms from the Poetry Foundation at: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/learn/glossary-terms Google painting is a type of collaging that primarily uses internet search results and Google’s search prediction capabilities to generate quasi-random phrases. The technique helps jumpstart creativity with strange juxtapositions, broken syntax, and internet speak.
