yo fuckboi
take your smartness & explain to me
magnets; snowdrift; guilt.
solve the following equation:
reverse engineering is equal to
inner peace to the power of x
where x meets the y axis
& the y axis represents
time.
let your smartness off the leash.
throw a ball of secure achievements.
does it bounce against the wall
of hearts & hopes & fears?
recreate this as a sonnet
a sestina
a dirty protest
a christmas number 1
it's all academic to me
a sharpened pencil up my nose
touching my brain
as my head hits the desktop
but that was just an urban myth.
I'm calling my smartness
I'm calling smartness
puke my guts out
but he's gone.
pop up circus
they like your clown face
better than your real face
it's your civic duty
to report your neighbour
trees
used to be taller
trees used
to add life
his bark is worse than his bite
they should have known better
it's only a matter
if you don't drop the matter
it's only a small drop
you can make it
