entitled

1.

the therapist says:

don't ever say what not to do

a la forbidden fruit,

they'll just want to

devour it, no matter

how many worms

2.

sometimes i wish

the interweb social media

could be an airplane for hire

i'd scrap a bunch

of money together,

make a big banner

it would say

(insert your name)

is soooooooooooo

emotionally available

can't you see it from here?

3.

you're entitled, like bobby

brown, to your prerogative,

right? i think there might be

a chorus, or perhaps

backup singers. the white folks,

the dudes, the colonizers,

the homophobes, the rich,

the unforgivable,

they all sing along.
