6 Incredibly Silly Poems

by Maddy Van Buren

I’m not a girl anymore

I’m a woman

and as a woman, I need access to

the nuclear codes

As a woman I need access to

an unregistered firearm

the foot of your bed

Let me curl up on it

Wag my tail all in it

Like the dog I am

The dog you want me to be

Not like what Drake talks about

Good puppy

Good suffering

How’s that gonna work?

Not in my favor, but

I’ll drag my nails down my stomach,

Until I make sense

– – –

He is working in Penis Relations

She is working at the Dick Sucking Factory

They are both complex individuals,

with rich inner worlds

– – –

When people talk,

I am just waiting for them to be done

I ask if you are, too

But you say no, you are not

The most narcissistic person I have ever met,

And you’re saying no

– – –

I don’t speak to my therapist,

but if I did, she would say:

You have to do some positive self talk now

I fucking love seeing flash photography of The Dare in a New York City bar

I fucking love seeing an underage girl you’ve been sexting sell lewds 

I fucking love seeing Substacks written by ChatGPT get tons of likes 

I fucking love seeing my Instragram mutual at a party where we don’t speak 

I fucking love seeing Chrisean Rock abuse the Blueface baby on stream  

I fucking love seeing your opinion on tragedy through the dance trend app 

I fucking love seeing coworkers view my Instagram story where I post like shit 

I fucking love seeing the world pass me by through a cracked, ugly screen 

I love my eyes

I love my big blue eyes

I fucking love them so much that I will subject them to all this

– – – 

The girl who is in love with you will always sit

Somewhere deep inside my heart

She is the fat version, though

Weighing me down

A bit too much today

– – – 

Fuck you I’m leaving 

Fuck you I’m seething 

Fuck you I’m creeping 

Fuck you  I’m wheezing 

Fuck you I’m needing 

Fuck you I’m nothing 

Fuck you I’m pieces
