“People Who”
People who changed
the world.
People who eat darkness,
talk too much, people who died
in 2013. People who
don’t age. People who look like me,
talk to themselves.
People who need people.
People who cut themselves.
People who
annoy you.

“Why we need”
why we need gun control;
why we need sleep.
why we need feminism;
why we need coral reefs.
why we need water
why we
need guns
***
“What are the”
what are the ten commandments
what are the seven
wonders of the world?
(deadly sins,
continents)
what are the primary colors, the bases, the bill of rights,
the best
headphones?
***
“What If We”
What if we could?
If we had no moon, default –
were real?
If we swam into nothing. Attack Syria. Nine Inch Nails.
What if we were real
What if we were real
What if we were real
***
“What if your”
What if your poop is green
What if your pee smells
What if your dog eats chocolate
What if your iPhone gets wet
What if your wrong
(sic)

I like all of these, but my particular favorite is the last one. “What if your wrong (sic)”, indeed.
Excellent work, and I’m so happy yesterday’s Doodle was used for the image, it pairs well.
These are wondrous; I love thinking that enough people Google “People who eat darkness”.
What kind of Jaden Smith Twitter feed
Love this. Also yesterday I google-searched “weird haunted woman music” on the faint hope Google would give me the tunes I wanted, to little avail. Hoping that showed up on their live feed of stuff being searched.
Beautiful! I got chills from the “What if we were real” part.
These are not only excellent poems, they would also make excellent Talking Heads songs.
I kinda wanted to learn more about the world of “why we need”, and then I realized I lived in it. Yaaay.
Is it okay to wear black to a wedding
Is it okay to kill cyclists
Is it okay to start a sentence with and
Is it okay to wear white to a wedding
yes, NO, no, maybe
I have opinions on the wedding thing, but I feel that first; NSA, if you are going to be stalking us, feel free to put people like that on lists.
Weddings: do not wear anything that could be confused for a wedding dress, and do not wear anything that looks like widow’s weeds because you are mourning your lost relationship with the bride/groom. Basically this comes down to veils. You can wear black or white but you cannot wear a veil.
And if it’s going to be a hippy outdoors wedding, just wear blue, like an adult. You look fine. Everyone looks fine in blue.
Also don’t wear black if you are mourning your lost relationship with your son because you do not like your new daughter-in-law, I’m talking to you my Jewish grandmother.
is it down
is it up
is it christmas
is it bad to smoke weed
Everything is a Google search poem. Today I Learned.
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH WELL DONE EMMA
I feel like this is a poem for the new San Francisco:
Why aren’t beans paleo?
Why aren’t we funding this?
Why aren’t cargo ships armed?
Why aren’t the Beatles on Spotify?
Why aren’t my texts sending?
Why aren’t my chickens laying?
Why aren’t my usb ports working?
Chickens are so in right now.
why must we breathe —
why must we die —
why must we replicate our dna —
why must we sleep —
why must we fall master wayne?
Who knew Google was so emo?
(I added the emdashes in homage to the Greatest Punctuation Marks in Literature)
I wish I were
I wish I were or I wish I was
I wish I were dead
I wish I were a fish
Lovely!
Chickens are so in right now.
why doesn’t teller talk
why doesn’t she like me
why doesn’t the moon spin
why doesn’t eminem smile
love!
Thanks y’all!
Thanks y'all!

can I please

can I please receive the secret code
can I please die
can you just eat weed
can you just stop taking birth control
can you just be whelmed
can you just not
can they just remove gallstones
can they just fire me
can they just print more money
can they just eat cake
can she fit in a rowboat
can she bake a cherry pie
can she be that stupid
can sheep swim
Can you –
just once –
be cool?
