Girls

GIRLS
splashy micro-hothouses
no humdrum engagements
styled heads
wild-card zing
inspired
offbeat
decorated
attentions jostling
More
is more
is more
is sex and pain
is tears and blood
and then
the bomb effect
the essential details
the newfound frankness:
“there will be more stories.”

This is an erasure poem made from words found on pages 63 and 99 of Vogue (May 2018, British edition)

    what a disappointment to read in these Stereotypes, … would you you use Diana, Anna or any other personnel Charakter I would understand, but with a pauschal girls, it is unfortunately irrelevant for me.
