Posing For the 'Gram
in improbable scenarios I like to prance about
filtered to the max with an enormous pout
my fingernails are fake and so are my giant boobs
I'm promoting useless product that I will never use
I'll say anything to get more followers on the ‘gram
I’m a narcissist unaware of how ridiculous I am

The Posing Rose
Rose! Last one of the season!
It goes without reason,
that no prose could do this right.
The delicate little pose it shows in daylight,
is what everybody really knows; autumn's beacon!

Posing As Contradictions
just when she proudly posed as a puffing magic dragonette
the bubble burst and a shiny sword punctured vulnerable skin
pierced the façade and made her reveal true person and posture
I can’t hold this together without compromise
a circle to be squared with fumes of empty promise and hope
the hypothenuse of her losses overreaching angles and peace
soft

Posing In the Meadow
G-irl posing in the meadow
I-s enjoying her birthday;
E-arly nineteenth January,
L-ight takes the dark
A-way.
O-ne posing in the meadow
R-ises above the crowd;
I-t's a beautiful Thursday,
L-etting her become proud.
L-ong cold chill disappears, so does the Wednesday sorrow;
A-nother morn meets the girl posing in the meadow.

Posing For Pictures
What is the secret of your smile
That seems so fearful to be free?
(My culture tries so hard
To show a cheerful face.)
Perhaps you would deny your joy
(Sharing the Chinese belief
That the Gods can be jealous
Of human happiness
Or any other way
That we approach perfection) ?
Perhaps you want to turn
The jealousy of friends.
Perhaps you seek

Penny-Posing Loafer
You penny-posing loafer
You’re worn, through and through
Like us, puh-lease say we’re over
Before I fly-salt your food
You’re worn, through and through
Like the new burn-holes in your pants?
Before I fly-salt your food,
Why not leave as I passively ask?
Like the new burn-holes in your pants,
The gap between us is HUGE
Why not leave as I passively ask?
Walk out
