I mean like this morning.
While streaming 24/7.
Somebody’s hijab blew off.

Tagging the rotunda of intersectionality.
Shooting the pier of othering.
The quality of the rip unsurpassed.

An onslaught of aquatic erotica.
Eel-powered hot tubs and jury pools.
Power tools in all the great flavors.

Stroller wars on the Walk of Fame.
40-horse giraffes wringing their own necks
And winged nurses cathing confirmed ticketed passengers.

To where every coxed 8
Like sheep on a footbridge
Identifies as goats.

The stream says dope AF.
Cloak a trope in butterfly shadows.
And the stream just loses its stuff.

I’m struck by how
A part of me feels
Which leads me to why.

How rad is that, right?
I mean look at that hair!
Put it back on if you’re going to rock that shit!
