Really bad

Really bad

A Poem by Lana

You shall not be bad
Pay attention to rhymes
You shall not write
Until you respect the lines

But I want to be bad
And I want to burn the fish I bought
At a fish market
And then I want to eat it
I love it that way
And I could write a thousand poems about it
About a fish
That started life swimming away 
And a fisherman steals it 
Grabs it, suffocates it
And the fish has a seizure
Slowly but surely
It's dead
And its dark orbs are still dark and dead
Just as dead as when it was alive
And suddenly I buy it
And I cook it very very badly 
I cook it for dinner
And I invited guests over
How dare I?
It was very bad
But I enjoyed it

Oh boy I wanted to try to write in iambic pentameter
But it just made me throw up
I can't do it
This is my stanza on it
I poop on it
I throw up on it and it's a cement mix of nothing
It's ugly oh boy very ugly
And very bad
But I cannot do it
It ruins the fun out of it
I want to write about a fish
That's it
And just making it rhyme at the end
I just believe that the end matters
Just like life it's a bow that you wrap
And you can make it beautiful but
Usually I would buy a bow at a cheap market
For a couple bucks
And I would wrap it around a box
A beautiful box
And when the poet opens it up
He just sees sawdust
Oh yes he was horrified
He couldn't believe that the ugliness multiplied
His voice still echoes in my mind
He told me you shall not be bad
Pay attention to rhymes
I didn't know what rhyming was
And I use the word rhyme but I don't know what a rhyme is
I don't know what poetry is
But he told me I was very very bad
It reminded me of a child
A child pointing at its knee
And telling its mama "Look, it's very very bad, I hurt myself!"
It's me, I have a wound it's pretty bad
He pointed it at me
The poet
He was horrified as I said
I did injure my fingers
So I just type letters
That have nothing to do with each other
They just dance in circles
They make love sometimes without condoms
And then there are these diseases
They start to form and the electricity
Of my laptop suddenly 
It dies 
Completely dies
It's horrified by the virus
But then it recovers, you know
It recovers completely 
So I don't understand why I have to make sure
That my fingers are recovering
Or that my laptop needs a review
I think I just love my burnt fish
My ugly laptop
and my fingers the way they are



Oh I am bad
I'm very bad
I've been bad since the day I died
And when I ressurected
I multiplied
I'm like Coronavirus 
I just have variants of myself
One day I'm bad
The next I'm even more bad
Very very very bad
And so it is
My friends
This is my poem
And this is my art
Oh it's bad
Really bad
