GENIUS
something about the word woman
is too sexual for me
I am a king girl instead
I can drink a whole thing of dr. pepper
and hate it but I love the way
dr. pepper sounds so I do it anyway
I'm a king
and I do ornamental things
I sparkle like an expanse of sand
ten thousand years from now
someone will find the way I pronounce syrup
preserved in amber
and that person will want to eat it
because it just looks so good
I recommend selling it instead
I'm wearing a bow
and I have dr. pepper flavored lip gloss
from the eighth grade
I wonder
I wonder how a girl's self-esteem ever
reaches equilibrium without
roughly equal numbers of people telling her
that she's a genius/idiot
I recommend selling everything
