i only had a few good years left
before i was replaced by a girl younger than me
as though men yield power with age
but women grow into irrelevance
they can keep their lies
for i have just gotten started
i feel as though i just left the womb
my twenties are the warm-up
for what i'm really about to do
wait till you see me in my thirties
now that will be a proper introduction
to the nasty, wild, woman in me,
how can i leave before the party's started
rehearsals begin at forty
i ripen with age
i do not come with an expiration date

Greasy curry

Use your poems
To wipe my booty

Get in duly

There's nothing to discuss, she's a shallow narcissist completely lacking in talent, maturity, and self awareness, she is simply good at marketing an an "image" that sells in today's shallow, narcissistic, gynocentric, woke culture. A female journalist did a profile on her after the release of her second book, it shows what kind of person she is.
> We’ve been sitting in Union Square, on a bench near a flock of volatile pigeons; Kaur has ignored them to an impressive degree, but eventually her publicist suggests we go someplace else. It begins to rain, and so we head toward the Strand. The publicist has warned me in advance that this could be a challenging place to speak — “They adore her,” so she may be obliged to sign books — but we are able to browse undisturbed.
>“I will always go into a used bookstore,” she says, even when she’s working. “I’ll collect a lot of covers that inspire me — whether it’s the paper inside, whether it’s a font, so then later I can be like, okay, how’s mine going to look?”
>On a cart at the Strand, Milk and Honey sits alongside Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay, Men Explain Things to Me by Rebecca Solnit, and Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehesi Coates. Kaur read half of Between the World and Me. “I had to take notes,” she says — it was “more academic” than her typical reading. Recently she got Notorious RBG, and she’s been enjoying that.
>"This guy is the best,” she says, noticing an edition of Kafka’s complete stories; she’s referring to Peter Mendelsund, the book’s designer. “The dream is to have him design my next book.” His work, she points out, translates well across media — to different sizes, to posters, to digital.

SISTERHOOD

leaving the restaurant
i passed a table
on which someone had left a
$20 tip

the waitress was busy
and had not yet come back to clear

that $20 bill is in my purse now but
it's in her purse too

we are all one
we are all women
we are all human beings

when i return to that restaurant
i will smile
at the waitress

because we are holding hands

although

she does not know it

>she is simply good at marketing
I'll never even understand what this practically means in the minds of people who say it. Everyone gives a different answer like "just post a lot" and other things that are obviously meaningless to 99% of people who do them. These people are just pushed up by other, influent people they know, or they have a lot of money to buy likes. They're always someone's protege. Marketing has nothing to do with sucking dick so I don't understand what people mean. There are probably thousands of people who do the same crap.

my gardener

his back hurts

LOVE AND LOOSE CHANGE

my pop-tarts are $2.99
but i have only 53 cents

the cashier is stern
do i have some other way to pay

if society only taught us
to open our hearts
he would let me pay with gratitude

but gratitude is not
viable currency
these days
it appears

i grab the pop-tarts
and make a dash for it but security

catches me at the door

there is so little love
in the world

Shallow insight combined with blank verse structure. Confessional poetry that's contrived optimism, ideologically guided by a simplistic take on gender roles and the wisdom of age (the latter of which isn't even addressed, the poem is carried by unironic youthful narcissism).
