When did everyone start washing with Purell
Every time you turn around?
As if we could prevent anything.
Stop germs
if they have any interest in us
whatsoever.
When did greeting cards start costing 12 dollars,
for real.
No one else notices:
The guy in front of me buys four.
Unfazed.
And while I’m at it
When
Did it become a crime to dress.
You’re so dressed up,
spat out
like the worst possible indictment,
And there is me.
The unforgivable,
in heels, and ok,
maybe
a sequined brooch.
Always be a poet. Even in prose.
— Charles Baudelaire.
