Contradictions

Another attempt at poetry.

If you can’t stand it, look away.

You have been warned!

Contradictions

That song depresses me, but I listen to it.

your face irritates me, but beside you I sit.

I’m pro labor rights but I scream at the staff.

At your corny jokes I laugh

Smoke is bad for me, but I inhale it.

Your hair’s unruly, but I don’t mind it.

I need rest but I work

I’d like to pierce your style with a pitchfork

I hate capitalists, but I shop in malls

I’d like to see your cute face drop on a waterfall

I buy fake, but say support the true

You’re egotistic but I like you

I’m a pessimistic optimist

And in my heart you’re an off-limits cyst
