Telling Them Off

Who wants to date a hack?
Someone spread the rumor
that someone was dating a
hack but they don’t spell
out what that means. 
A hack repeats the same
goddamn poem over and 
over — poems like Us v.Them. 
Also, add All You Need Is
Love. Tell me what’s so
original about love, she
said. Tell me or I’ll cut
your head off. And 
I scratched my head with
my middle fingers, both
of them. What a beautiful sight.
