Nihilistic Gimmicking

[So I'm uploading a video with this (which is actually just a sound file of me reading) because this is one of those rare pieces that I think hearing it read out loud will be an all-around benefit, better than simply reading the words themselves. I guess it's kind of a sound poem in that respect. But actually this was inspired by Christian Bök's Eunoia in which he uses only one vowel in his pieces (so whatever consonant he wants, but only using words with A or E or I or O or U). Obviously in my poem I chose to work with I. It's incredibly difficult, but really fun and I think you should all try it at one point! (Next CWC prompt?! :O) Anyway, you should all check out Eunoia and Christian Bök in general because he's an amazing writer and he does a lot of awesome stuff with words. So go!! http://archives.chbooks.com/online_books/eunoia/text.html ....but read and listen to my poem first ;)]

Nihilistic Gimmicking

This chill, inky night spills in;
silly silk-skin Kim sips sin
whilst wishing in implicit pins,
sticking limbs with illicit grins –
disciplining with witty wins
till his spinning mind gives in.
Killing simply with blind slits,
right in rigid ribs it fits,
it sits, is indistinctly driving splits
with skill; it instills its blitz
within Sin’s spitting spritz,
dismissing this in which Kim sits.
Kim sits still – wishing Sin its shrill,
windmill thrills, winding windy ills,
bringing frigid filling in Sin’s skill –
singing whist! in timid tips in will
whilst his lips spill indicting trills,
his skin slicing till in Sin fills.
