after the song “Pink Venom” by BLACKPINK
Thick edge of paradox
no other appeal
to sex
quite as persuasive:
four women sing syllepsis, steam smooth,
and
break your brain.
This is not a game, but
Fun
making fun
make fun
in a Fun Factory.
I recognize the play from womanhood, the expertise of
a phrase tangled in a wrench, turning
a careful
wild
sequence.
Listening to the song,
I think, what am I allowed?
What can I take, am I too thread-stripped
a different woman now, but
the syntax I know:
every drop in the beat a dare –
(like a comma)
mark a rest,
then double down.
