New Valentines Day Sumbission

This was submitted for our Valentines Day Poem Writing Contest via email to us and we felt it needed to be posted in its original format. To be honest it looks a lot cooler in a Word document. The stylized nature of the poem forms a Rose. Imagine that while reading it:


Q:What do you get when a Crooked Monkey pounds a Valentine’s Day poem from the exit?

A: Romance 101 (aka my submitted poem)

Romance 101

Hold a steady middle finger to whoever

insists that our relationship, our rose, replete

With soothing thorns and aromatic roots

Suffocated deep in the dirt of our past,

Is unlike any other plant. Remember

the beginning,

nervousness

armpit

stains,

sweaty

palms,

two

gametes

falling

in

soil’s

raunchy

orgy,

thrown

missionary

on one

another,

involuntarily

stapled

together.

Tragically,

gossip

oozed

into the

social

pipelines

bombarding

our voicemails

with sheer

vanity,

blinding

flashes from

disposable

cameras

trapping

our hearts

in 4 X 6

prison cells,

slapping

stereotype on all our fun, leaving us to deteriorate in the plastic rooms of a photo album.
