aesthetic

Karen Breen

you know what’s the point trying to educate everybody
on your identity anyway

i don’t mean gender or lgbtq stuff
i’m bi did you know that

it’s just sometimes i wanna be left alone

i like watching myself in the mirror when i listen to music
i like watching my eyes get all big

maybe turn the lights off
listen to something nobody’s ever heard of

i’m fuckin cool who cares if i’m not zero-waste—
actually me

i wanna wear plastic so it’s not some penguin’s noose
pink pvc, shipped here with jet fuel

i am the retail apocalypse
the dead mall on king street
dan bell’s new thirty-dollar polaroid

pledge 10+ dollars on my patreon and get perks
