WHY DOES TAYLOR SWIFT SUDDENLY APPEAR SO FREQUENTLY IN MY FACEBOOK FEED?
Suddenly,
Taylor Swift
appears
in my Facebook feed
10x as often
as my friends.
She is not
my friend.
We are not even
distant acquaintances.
And how
can she appear
so (seemingly) physically
unchanged
while holding a newborn
and standing next to her handsome
famous husband
radiantly
smiling
as if she were promoting
a tooth whitening
formula?
Most of us
still appear pregnant
long
after giving birth, bags
under our eyes
and oily hair.
We haven’t bathed
in weeks
and could use a shot
of Angel’s Envy.
Frankly,
we haven’t slept
since month four of our pregnancy.
The first three months we
were puking,
and where
is our fucking handsome husband?

This poem / rant was wonderful. It makes me wish I’d written down my ode to Taylor for this LexPoMo. But alas, it’s sordid. Sort of.
But not contemptible.
Yes, FB is an oddity, isn’t it? Better to be linked to Taylor than others I won’t mention. Nice weaving of your life with hers.
I’ve enjoyed your poems this month!
