Poem: Senryrus for Dirtbags
By Christine Larsen


1.

Like sociopaths,

Mosquitoes never worry

that they might hurt you.


2.

Even as I watch,

you manage to steal from me.

You are such a dick.


3.

Well-behaved and kind

as I am, I will explode

eventually.


4.

The phone is turned off;

the locks on the door are changed.

Can’t you take a hint?


5.

Email me again,

and I swear, motherfucker,

I’ll burn that laptop.


6.

Seven inches—ha!

I measure it in my hand;

six is generous.


7.

Your “prowess” in bed—

even exaggerated—

must embarrass you.


8.

Your three dogs leave more

of an impression on me

shitting in my yard.


9.

A piece-of-shit car

left behind in the garage

has more use to me.


10.

I dream you are dead

and ground up in a blender.

I wake up smiling.

This is just brilliant.
Wish I could cut down to the bone like that.

Christine is a very talented young poet. "Senryrus for Dirtbags" attracted us to publish it because of its raw emotional wallop.

Plus we like good revenge poetry. Glad you liked it.
