There appears to be
~confusion~
concerning
!APPROVAL!
See, you can’t
withhold what I reject
and you may as well surrender
the idea
that I’ll wear shame for show,
allowing you to luxuriate
in shambles of superiority
when we both know
what you did.
Self-exploited victims
leave a bad taste in my mouth—
I’ll satisfy my
blood-thirst,
spit you out
without masticating.

Intrusive rhyme bothers me, except as a weapon.
Intertextuality is my passion.
Formalist/ New Critical are my guiding theories.
My words are mine, not a robot’s.
