!not


!not

going to: follow your punctuation rules
for who you think, I am, today

a pink (gauzy) syntax
in your red/state white/male cataract

no!t going to be pastel
quiet interrupted a grl

mascara my (im)perfection wear froth to slake your thirst
your hand holding my throat like a beer bottle

?want me to dress like something edible a pomegranate
pansy whirl of cotton candy to sweeten teeth not going to

bend under your shard ceiling bend over
ogled an objet d’ morsel fckd

on your testosterone timetable accept 7/10th
of a dollar my X boxed in [by your y]

not going to stay in line pirouette on cue
stand on blistered toes to reach higher

dance for your reality show government
, can’t, won’t:
