Netflix Poems


Premium MemberArt of Avoidance

We collect unresolved arguments,
    like spare buttons in a jar—
        each one waiting for its moment
            that never arrives.

Yesterday's dishes grow cultures
    in the sink while we pretend

Not tonight, Netflix

Netflix, I will not watch you tonight
I wanna spend the evening hungry
I wanna be a pioneer without WiFi
I wanna be a cowboy without a harmonica
I wanna be a pine tree without the sun 
Attuned to the emptiness of a night

You give me endless choices
Your shows pique my dopamine
You embrace my eyes with episodes
You are a

Premium MemberNetflix and Kill

Let’s tell stories. Can we haunt each other? 
We can put a new twist on an old script;
Tale of a call center with a raw deal 
plagued with disrespect they ask why bother?
Mild manners over time have become miffed  
being asked to let it roll off is unreal;
There’s only one fix when people are

I Woke Up

but
to get to you
i need Maria
to take me
on the water
her legs
to touch the ground
for me to fly
her hands embrace the wind
for me to caress your cheeks
with the palm
to part your hair like a path
as lips touch your forehead
to taste the fire of today
i need Maria
to bring me to you

Premium MemberThe Effects of Binge-Watching

Many times I’ll watch a show,
Enough to say I’d binge.
Gone away, my mind will go,
And slowly off the hinge.

Watch enough, the show will lend,
An accent to my voice.
What that is, it will depend,
Upon my viewing choice.

Southern drawl or British twang,
Perhaps a little latin.
Simulating mobster slang,
Like I’m from Manhattan.

When I drive, I double take,
At what could

Learnt Love Through Netflix

Where Lucy was right
and Gods we spite
when squids were game
and happinesswassquashed
The gem a bit is queen
of strangness never caught
if i have died
you weren't in my thoughts
see i broke a dimension back there
was i talking to you
or was i talking to me a me to follow
sea a note to follow pulled stretched skin
oh mist of Whisky

Thorns Sex Peace

O God, excuse me
Embrace my complaints in paper - bother not about my writing you wouldn't need to sequeez it
We're in a world where guidance is lost
We're in a world where happiness is forced
We're in a time where thorns sex Peace
We're in a time where our sorrows are watched on netflix
The hijacking of peace is

Premium MemberLove Affair With Tv and Netflix

My couch is excited to be of use
I devour graham crackers and drink my juice
Unfortunately my cousin is on the loose
Hiding in kitchen next to my fuse

Couch points out she is drinking my booze.
I pay her to leave, give her a deuce.
Now alone with couch, to greatly amuse
Love affair with TV’s Netflix. What shall I

Netflix and Chill

I loved the honesty. 
Netflix, chill then what.
I'd love to unfold you all night.
A reiteration of
Laying on our backs 
No longer hesitant. 
No longer ignorant. 
Transcending the labels we both  keep inside.
Suggesting that there's more to appearance. 
Standing in the chills of liberation. 
We soon were caught in
Organized noise
Lost in flims of smoke
All night

Netflix Series

It's obsessive Compulsive
An addiction For fiction
A need I must feed
To clot the bleed

I feen for intensity
Of searching for clarity
In an enchanting mystery 
The opposite to reality

The house becomes still
Not a soul to entertain 
It's time for my meal
Everyday it's the same

A short piece of music
A cosmetic aesthetic 
The very reason they use it
To stir my

Netflix and Chill

I want to get to know you and see how you feel
Undressing and having sex is the easy part
I'd rather share our life experiences and begin to heal your heart
I'm at the point where I no longer care about Netflix and chill

I've had my fair share of fun, but now I need something deeper
Growing up

Premium MemberNetflix, Hulu

Neftlix, Hulu, autumn elaeagnus
thorns, small hairy buds, twigs hyper-lenticelled
fruits supposedly edible, leaves elongated, oblong
xerophytic but found in wetland
introduced species, some say invasive

Xbox is invasive
Hulu is the best source of foreign films
and foreign films represent reality better than American
although reality is not always what we're after
silliness, silly sadness, and relentless laughter
