Self-View (You’re Doing it Wrong)
Im going to use
My arm
Let me explain
Im going to just
Set up my phone
Extend my arm
Record myself
Pasty awkward
Voice sticking
Bust in the frame
Shaky for a minute
Or two
Or whatever it takes
Me to reach you
I just
I'm going to do this
I have to
Remind you
Because you
To absolutely no one
To my own face
Inverted reflection
Speaking for everyone
Uncomfortably tense
We
I
Yes me
Listen you
Because you
Severe quietude
Where'd you get
Your information
Social Media?
Have you even
Watched
The Handmaid's Tale?
I want you out
Unfollow me
Cut the cord
Wake up
Picture myself
In my echo chamber
Metaphorical diatribe
Full of absolutely nothing
Speaking to my selfie
After too much morning
Coffee or too much
Hate you know
And uninformed
Americans
Who are clueless
Inexperienced
Have never been
To their own society
Let alone any other
They are threats
To democracy
Nazis
Fascists
Racists
Rapists
And hate women
And colored folks
And if we don't
Make this happen
It never will
Oh I've flipped
My switch
And I'm going to
Scream
In your post
To get out
To just Go away
Or make a dramatic
Exit, I'm going in
To defend my sources
With furious retort
I'm going to show
That I'm a safe person
To all of those who
Lost their rights
Who Just want to be
Themselves
Since I can't do it with
My personality
Or personally
But with this message
I've given up trying
Beyond my set up
Outside my video
Because I'm more
In touch
Far online sharing
So listen to me
Look at me
To be clear
Fear me now
You and
And everyone
Who chose a side
That was not the
Prediction
That i didn't
Not my president
When I voted for the right
Side of history
Therefore
I'm a better person
I'm smarter
More educated
Better at intelligence
And more well read
That's
Our team
We have better friends
In the creative industries
Trending
Collaborations toward
Leaving
Absolutely no space
For conversation
You can't be part
Of Us
But within this
Selfie interview
I really dont need
someone or anyone
in the room
I don't want any
Contradiction
To my opinion
Which i know
Was just out-spoken
But is NOT
How the majority
Truly Feels
Since I know
we are ready
I am ready
I am fighting
I am willing
I am completely boastful
And inarguable
About how this economy
Feels more like
The price of eggs
Are more important
Than my choice
And we're going to
To mess with tornadoes
and hurricanes
and the natural flow
of nature
To institute
The narrative
And rhetoric
Oh good luck now
We are looking through
From legacy media
To my family
And my friends
To know
They Will be based on
Political Affiliation
And especially
With absolute
Arrogance
Like a pithy person
I'm nailing it
Saying that's OK
So Done with you
Afraid you are shunned
By my favorite band
And with a mouthful
Of celestial thoughts
To replace
The fake avatars
This is my protest
Playing the Victim
In search of telling
That I've never
Associated with you
Or even another you
But it doesn't live in me
Doesn't matter
You made your selection
But I've seen enough
On TV and in books
That you were
So wrong and
Don't even know
How to read
That's it
I'm going to make myself
Cry
Like I am
Now, like artists
My real mothers
Relaying another awful
News story that your
Leader is fully
Responsible for
Goes without saying
As late night hosts
Who I adore
I'm believing
And narcissists
And now girls
On trampolines
We are not the
Only ones
Who will be suffering
From your decision
And I don't know if irony
Is the right word,
But they depict me
Being harassed
By many people
I haven't seen none
Of this
Yet may you find
Peace
Those of you
Who were offended
By women
And race
And Joy and Love
And so much of the
Stern voices
From all us
It bothers Me enough
That I'm oppressed
I care so deeply
About the past
You just returned
I won't use red hearts
I know it is
Not only me
The way I sense
About how dumb
And misogynistic
A country can be
Fuck going about life
With congeniality
Towards anyone
That disagrees with me
If you see me
Or any of Us
With this blue hat
Don't even think
Of making a mess
Of my
Freedom of Speech
