Sadly, between pandemics and postal services, this book was meant to arrive earlier this year, but nevertheless, it's here now! Hooray! And big thanks to #PoetsChoice for trying to track the parcel and keep me informed of its progress along the way.
I have officially had a poem published in a book! It's a cool feeling.
Now if only one of the muses would deign to whap me over the head with some more inspiration. It's been a struggle of a year to write something new. Or even work on old stuff. Oh well. Here's hoping this gives a little boost.
You can see the images of the book below and the full poem below that.

Was that clickbait?
Who cares
I’ve always wanted
a snoogie-woogie super comfy whatever that is
Like it
Like me
Give me hearts and own mine
What’s another picture?
Starbucks and filters and duck faces
Is that risqué?
No, dear, that’s fucking feminism
Do they accept you?
Do you accept you?
Wear what you want
When you want
So what if it’s hipster?
Pumpkin spice is delish
Oh look
It’s an opinion
Careful you don’t step in it
On it
Near it
Though I don’t get
How your opinion
Ideals
Beliefs
Get to define my life
I’ll marry my gf
Or bf
Don’t worry
You’re not invited to the wedding
Hate to make you uncomfortable
With my loving, consensual relationship
That has nothing
To do
With you

Where’s the dislike?
Thumbs down n’ all that
How dare we want
Equality
How dare we give a shit
Unfriended.
Muted.

Debates
Arguments
You’re talking about beliefs?
I’m talking about human rights
So no to your friendship
No to your following
You’re not having
‘An opinion’
You’re being a cunt.
Harassed.
Bullied
Lock the account
Just friends, family
And all those pretending to be either
If facts aren’t feelings
Why are you ignoring the facts
To attack their feelings?
Misery loves company
And this is a group chat
DMs
Direct Messages
Deep and meaningfuls
Is it private?
Do you trust them?
It’s just one picture

Wow face.
Horror face.
Angry face.

And we all know bitches love
the winky face.
