Poetry
maybe I should just get out of it.
“as far as young poets
on the front cover go
they were washed up
way ahead of their time”
Sappho’s
woke as fuck
K-martyr
I want to say I miss talking to you but
I fear what I really miss is the feeling
someone was listening because after
nearly five years, I still feel like
I don’t know you
and I don’t think
that’s just because I wasn’t listening.
“yeah but”
“i have a new rapist now”
“& a hyundai”
laissez faire enough
otherwise it’s like hitting on yourself / in the head w/ a
hammer, amazing
once you stop
at your destination
& go out
of style
oh, oh, just because you go 2
a fancy
univers
ity, that don’t make
your neoliberal arts degree any less useless,
baby.
& there was also
Don’t Fuck Up
(Fucking up’s the first step to being a fuck up)
so, uh,
Sorry?
an abortive attempt
in the 90’s
I like to wear Liv’s hoodie
to bed.
it doesn’t add up to much.
ephemera.
“how are you these days?”
dehydrated,
mainly.
everybody’s sirius but miso soup
what do i have to be so negative
-ly geared up and dancing
about
the next generation of emotionally crippled
creatures of drug habit
stoned as the day you were bore
to bibliophilic tinder woman
favourite authorities JK
Rowling, Stephen King &
Kurt(sy) Vonne
“gutted
it”
or our case, bad
decisions, the lack
of living dead road ragers
& good boy plays
on bangers and mash
Richard and Nikaylah

w/ mythodological approach
living below the poverty line
maguro is a hyundai
& sick of not being able to

stayed in
