I'm buying eyeshadow in bulk again
Six phat shades, in cream crayon-fat pencils.
Maybe it's time I get real.
At these prices, I'll tell you, it's a steal
But who am I kidding? Like I need
Purple raccoon eyes to pick up skim milk
At the grocery store? And I might need the milk
More than I do the makeup soon anyway.

Maybe it's a spring thing, this mania
For color and primping and bad decisions,
High humidity and plump mascara.
It's the slut coming out-- biology patrol--
Not much I can do, but unplug the modem,
Get out the Bible and the ankle restraints
And hope and pray for the best, before
I start bringing home strangers again.

get out the bible and ankle restraints...

mwahahaha

not all poetry has to be huge and significant and worthy. i couldn't help but enjoy reading this, and i actually think the light delivery glosses over some stuff in there that IS deeper, if not deepy deep. :p

?

I'll go a bit further and suggest this isn't poetry at all but a fun sort of stream of consciousness write. But I'll give it V because I could be wrong and it is well written.

Good but..

.. a one read. I think someone else mentioned its a fun read but it won't draw you back again to make new discoveries, it doesn't rattle in your head after you've reached the end. However, a really enjoyable read.

Another fun read though not as slick and flowing as Grad school mixer

ah shucks

just go bring 'em home. The event can be your next poem! Yeah baby.

Again, a unique sort of flair in your poetry. I'm still wondering why I like it. Maybe because it is so weird. Unconventional.

Course, the slut coming out -- biology patrol part gave me a rise. I mean made me smile.
