OHNO

a poem

in this age of click and crop
she values her style and space.
crisp borders on her every feed,
and captions in lower case.

she can do without all things designer
if her wifi stays strong and quick.
after all, why want any pricey new stuff
when empty rooms are so aesthetic?

anyway, her phone has all she needs
within its 4.7 inch screen.
nothing will ever be as fun as stalking
crush’s selfies from 2015.

she truly is a classic child
not a collector, but a creator of divines
(she slips crush’s photos in a collage
of white background and clean black lines.)

that night she snaps her masterpiece
with the caption “my one and only”
until she realizes in blank, empty horror
that crush can see her story.
