white woman scary

Poetry

Linsey Itak

clumps clutter the aged hardwood below 

cracked in dilapidated fury fried 

hair clatters once forgotten reveries  

of youthful relationships left isolated, 

curdling like the milk in your forgotten 

dunkin donuts’ pumpkin spiced latte 

with an extra pump of hazelnut. 

digits grip dangerously on garden  

shears sharp yet tantalizingly sexy 

overseers' howls depress cheers of  

liquid misery stained scarlet i want  

to snip you in two 

margot robbie plays barbie dreamhouse, 

i bet you cried in the amphitheater lol 

polyester thighs melted mushy in the 

thundering lamp light brittle plastic 

breaks softly under tender pressure 

gaze scrutinizing the three vowels, 

four consonants title gifted upon 

lizard skin your name tastes 

like shit on my tongue fyi cheap  

wasabi without sushi sears  

tastebuds to oblivion 

a choir of melting microplastics  

scream notes so sharp, hot breath 

punctures deep in the shredded womb 

of white woman feminism and shrieks 

delightful agony to the seed of dread 

disfigurement in deoxyribonucleic acid 

total ribosomal arterial failure 

your mighty mitochondria fuels irrigated 

irritation, all energy converted to ceaseless 

rage-baiting instead of the feast of 

hope or joy or some other tacky bullshit 

a bucket of kfc’s extra crispy white  

meat, thunder-thighs don’t save lives  

since teeth simply shred spoiled  

calves as large as the andes, camel 

humps obtusely structure your figure 

sybau and open your eyes! 

wake up, woman 

you’re an amalgamation of what it 

is to be human, half-cyborg  

half-whatever-the-fuck 

halloween is over queen, 

so, rip off that skinsuit of yours 

which, btw babe, doesn’t fit you 

so please, cope with the inevitable 

doom that taints social serenity with 

fake-woke taylor swift black  

widow opulence
