Crash-Test Dummies Poem by Terri Turrell
Crash-Test Dummies
He told me his truths were
uglier than mine
laughing, we threw words
that were
...pieces of flesh
hanging from bones
He slept inside my mind
for some amount of time
Minutes perhaps
still enough
I said if you leave
..truth unquestioned
You will be
part of the deception
He said my dance was
an uneasy truce
between gravity
and the will to fly
Crash test dummies
and we thought
we were...genius

It is what you don't say that is more intrigueing than what you do say because the subtle suggestions of sequiturs that are to be assumed are so meaningful that it forces the reader (me, for example) to think outside of the box.
I know that dance between gravity and the will to fly. Every time I've danced it I have finished up flying. Odd thing that.----10
The first verse grabbed me, the second one held me still tighter and at the end, I felt as if I had witnessed an enjoyable sort of a car wreck..(smile) Great lines in here.
