The Incelosaurus
Loneliness x Misogyny x Self-Loathing
His brains bound by the amber sap
Of base misogyny
Misplaced in perpetuity
In swamps of self-disgust
*
The Incelosaurus, a beast
Of the pernicious kind
Of shapes and colors multiple
But of a single mind
*
“Give me what I deserve,” he says
By that, he means the world
And access fully unfettered
To foxy female herds
*
Appendix sad and rock salt dry
A crouton in the sun
Left hand, right hand, he cannot choose
But he knows who to drub
*
A rank and dank den, in the dark
His natural habitat
Whatever Mother hurls down there
His diet for the night
*
A spirit less piquant than mine
Could sense its feebleness
Take pity on the dinosaur
Then find out it’s a Rex
*
In the digital pack, sometimes
A monstrous king does rise
With the most trenchant of keyboards
And merciless of mics
*
Stale secrets and scavenging tips
To gorge on female pray
Are barely just the beginning
He seeks to make us pay
*
Transphobic, misogynistic,
A boundless violent storm
Which deserves all our attention
Lest it become the norm
*
Speak to your boys and all your friends
Do not assume they’re good
For you may find Jurassic nests
In your neck of the woods

Oh wow! I am blown away...wonderful. I just wrote a funny kind of not so funny one about that dino nest. Lovely poetry.
You painted a monstrous beast worthy of being avoided! Good job
Loved "appendix sad"! Great challenge take, Lily!
Oooo, this was so deep and clever! Loved your poem!
This was such a unique take on the challenge! Absolutely loved it.
"For you may find Jurassic nests / In your neck of the woods" is such a mic drop. You've crafted something very clever with this poem. Great job!
The worst kind of reptile...and why didn't I think of this?
I've met this guy: "base misogyny Misplaced in perpetuity In swamps of self-disgust" He's an ass. Powerfully conveyed. Enjoyed your writing very much!
