Online Dating Sucks

Online Dating Sucks - Given words in bold from Cv2

online dating sucks

my hunger for real begets

foundling forms of

relationships that don’t stick

on long

always unroofed by secrets

busting open the seams on

news feeds-

profile pics are here to creep

on- cardboard cutouts- bunk

accounts

catfish isn’t lobster anywhere

no lies on age in old school

daguerreotype photography

days

filters now glamorize the lies

of stippled pores with lines of

youth

Emojis are the yellow

summaries of vague emotion

and copacetic complicity with

technology

true love was stolen again-

absquatulated by a Snapchat

porno layered with dank

white smoke, poor choices and

dick

“Netflix and Chill” a

bombastic term of

endearment that I won’t bite

down on

ignore lethargic smiles,

solicitations & hook-ups

I’ll take a chance. Swipe

to the next guy.

I might say “hi.”
