poem: tiger king 4:12

i tried to watch the tiger king
it just seems to be
this huge pop culture moment
it wasn't fomo
it was wanting to
be a part of something
have a quarantine moment
whatever

i didn't really think i'd like it
and i was right

here's my assessment
after episode 1
3 people
all doing the same thing
all thinking
they are different
all white trash

i guess
there's a can't-look-away
car crash quality
but
i don't find the white trash world
fascinatingly bizarre
or
comfortably identifying
i
find it triggering

and
i don't really need to see any more
