同花顺 ROYAL FLUSH

Lumps in our throats

Our bodies intoxicant

U turned him from a blob into a man

Oh, right, yea, mum’s the word

Louis Vuitton announced it is raising prices this week in response to increased manufacturing costs & global inflation, a decision that will affect the cost of leather goods, accessories, & fragrances around the world

Ummmm, raise them to wut, two first-borns ???

I always forget that flamingos are pink from the shrimp they eat

I eat u

I eat ur pink

! EXACT CHANGE ONLY !

I saw a holiday gift list & in one entry, under Occupation, it said ROTTWEILER

Don’t make me throw an eggroll at u

If ur a white man hoping to compare a contemporary culture-war non-issue to some historical atrocity, pls don’t

If ur an elected official hoping to express sympathy for a horrible Chinatown hate crime, u know it’s ok to do just that, right?  U don’t have to tack on ur going-nowhere policy pushes IN THE SAME STATEMENT

BUTTERCREAM ROSES / COLORS NOT FOUND IN NATURE

Wut I know of u I take from 3 bronze monkeys & the Collected Poems of Ai

[CSI: MIAMI SCREAM]

U call it “craft” but I luv the CARE & attention & thoughtfulness some ppl place on form & punctuation & ahhhh bursting ♥♥♥

A good poem teaches u how to read it … gently

I don’t like that diaristic bullshit !!!  U make coffee, some birds on a ledge … big whoop

Those poems where u kinda just repeat the slurs & stereotypes are so 2008 … u shouldn’t do that b/c then they get double the airtime & ur rebuttal gets zero attention (haha)

Short poems are more fashionable now

Someone rightfully called me the thinking-person’s Azn poet

My friends actually say things like let’s schedule a time to talk

ONUS

Put the ONUS on me

Womyn holding warm doo-doo says so that’s a plus

I see boys I like & talk to them … I think that’s called noblesse oblige

Promiscuous like airlines selling the same seat twice

Do u mean to say that not everything revolves around Eastern Time ???

Anyway I have lush carnal thoughts & u look etiolated

Blond hustler, once an irreplaceable hunk, ends up marrying a womyn & moving to Asbury Park

The horrible white man in my workshop writes terrible haiku

I will not be betrayed by my lack of astonishment

Sometimes I think I’m sad but I’m really just too tired to bone

Even if I were to kiss a ring, it wouldn’t be urs

A lot of ppl are these days v suspicious of others … they go RED FLAG !!! over nothing

One of the ways u can get over someone is like … are they really that special … on the other hand, there are ppl u never really “get over” & maybe that’s fine & getting-over is an overrated enterprise

Getting-over vs living-alongside

Like a little demon u house-train

Every family has a genius
