Tanka-ka
Or Not Tanka
American tanka: Japanese influenced poetry that ignores rigid syllable guidelines; typified by an individualist, nonconformist sentiment.
1.
You step so cautiously
That sometimes you forget
To take a step
And I am left waiting,
Running far ahead
2.
You don’t realize
That your body
Might just save this one
This body might,
Just **** me
3.
What does all this stuff mean?
What does this world mean?
Long after I am gone
This **** will still be here,
Forgotten by everyone
4.
Internet ****
Seduces mens’ hearts
And objectifies their desires
5.
The destruction of the self is intolerable,
Everyone tells me
To destroy myself is unacceptable,
Little round pills
