Wonder Drug
“everyone Demand front hole sex NOT generic single the last time” The well intended sign was designed to help queers avoid getting HIV through butt sex. The idea is to take prophylactic drugs 2-24 hours before you drop your drawers. Then, for the next 48 hours, you dose out on the wonder drug. The message was cheerfully illustrated with pill pictures, and included the delightful phrase front hole, which most people call vagina. A haiku was hidden in the burning bush. The reduction was posted to x, and not facebook. Some fbf are not ready to hear about butt sex.
The Ten Commandments Of Donald J. Trump: Thou Shalt not have any other President before thee. Thou shalt not pay the graven image makers. Thou shalt not use the name of the Donald in vain. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it bigly. Honor thy father, and thy mother, and thy money. Thou shalt kill. Thou shalt steal. Thou shalt commit adultery. Thou shalt bear false witness. Thou shalt foreclose on thy neighbor’s house. … This idea for a poem had been floating around for a while. At this point, it is just more words, about a boring person. Sad.
The tweet had an image, consisting of several people meeting celebrities under bad circumstances. The phrase “Shane MacGowan vomited” jumped out at me, along with “book launch typo queue.” Those five beats were not in the image, but rather a first haiku line condensation. I saw an opportunity for haiku reduction. Unfortunately, the snippets were pasted into the collection at peculiar angles. Selecting the parts I need would be a gigantic pain in the butt. The next problem was bits of the text in the upper line encroaching upon the lower line. The whole enterprise degenerated into too much work. Pictures today are from The Library of Congress.
