The Trolls

tone deaf

By Harper Lewis Published 4 months ago • 1 min read

They never stop,

never take a hint,

not even a reference

to a wedding night

dissuades these

predatory fucks

setting up scams.

Like I’m falling

for that

tired, worn out praise

of my insides

from some

motherfucker

who’s never

seen my X-rays.

About the Creator

Harper Lewis

Ekke Ekke Ekke Ekke Ptang Zoo Boing!

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.
